It was a great day for America! I would like to point out that the Dem’s have all but destroyed Private Property Rights with state-wide smoking bans. There was never a law that said an owner had to allow smoking, there should not be a law demanding no smoking! Let the market decide! The public has nothing invested in someone’s property, and they are not taxpayer funded. WI’s 2nd congressional district’s TAMMY BALDWIN will fight for gay rights, but she voted against private property rights. These bans were financed by big pharma that markets their own brand of nicotine in the name of public health. A “non-profit” foundation funded most of the smoking bans. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation paid just through 2005 over 446 MILLION DOLLARS for tobacco control. $99 million to the ACS, ALA, AHA for bans. $84 million to create/fund Tobacco-Free Kids. RWJF was created by the founder of Johnson & Johnson. RWJF owns tens of millions of shares of J&J stock. J&J sells Nicotine Replacement Therapy products (CESSATION). They have paid to de-normalize smoking for profit, not health as the public has been led to believe. I read an article about a boy that OD’d on Nicorette gum given at school without parental knowledge. So, very underhandedly, pharmaceutical nicotine is pushed on 12 year old kids. If anyone doubted that the anti-smoking crusade leads back to Big Pharma, there is nothing more to say! For adults to exert the preference of one group over another is shameful! Cigarette - 3 mg of nitrogen oxide (NO) and 40 mg of carbon monoxide (CO). One single 747 takeoff/landing - 115 pounds of NO and 32 pounds of CO (That’s 52 million mg of NO and 14 million mg of CO), 500 takeoffs/landings per day has the CO equivalent of over 160 million cigarettes and the NO of Eight and a Half BILLION cigarettes. How many people go to airports or heat their homes or simply drive their cars? AVERAGED EMISSIONS OF FINE PARTICLES IN GRAMS PER HOUR OR DAY:

Fireplace-softwood (31 lbs.or 14kg burned over 3 hours.) 59 grams/hour.

http://www.burningissues.org/comp-emmis-part-sources.htm Big Tobacco also profits immensely from the Master Settlement Agreement and FDA Regulation. The only losers are the smokers using a legal substance and private property owners. The Recall Doyle team has addressed this issue, but hopefully this will be addressed in the future on an even larger scale.

Hi Everyone,

This was my first Tea Party that I attended. The photo that you see is of me on (Left). This picture is not of my best side but next time I will show off my assets.
Also, I just want you to know that first I am not a Grandma. Notice the arrow at the bottom of the sign. The other side of the sign said: Grandma, Dig Your Own Grave ObamaCare ‘s Less.

Otherwise the Milwaukee Tea Party it was fun. And I look forward to the next Tea Party.
