View this email in your browser Business Testimonials Needed for Senator Ron Johnson and Members of Congress

AVA seeks assistance in generating responses August 8, 2016 has passed, but the fight to save the U.S. vapor industry is far from over. After taking their summer recess, Congress will return to session in September. It goes without saying that we have a lot to accomplish before the year is done. Today, we're asking for your help.



We have a great ally in the U.S. Senate, Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson. In his capacity as Chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee, Senator Johnson has sent three separate letters to Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Robert Califf seeking answers on the recent "deeming regulation" for electronic cigarettes and vapor products. Thanks in part to Senator Johnson's efforts, many of his colleagues have begun to ask questions about the consequences of these regulations on businesses across the country.



We know that business owners in this industry are passionate. Let's show it to Congress by delivering them hundreds or thousands of survey responses from businesses.

Please provide honest answers and best estimates that can be provided to members of Congress and their staff.
