Itâs possible it was a late email.
I donât mean to be a Debbie Downer⌠but, the guys and gals on both sides of the isle care about vaping as much as the price of pickles on the third shelf down at the grocery store. Itâs a sad reality⌠but, we can always keep knocking on their door and reminding them, their constituents would like for them to address the future of harm reduction via vaping. 
Never give up!

im a little confused , what does this cole bishop amendment have to do with the budget bill ??? and why would have it been on the table , they have nothing to do with one another , the budget bill is about government spending on things like the wall , planned parenthood , defense this is very confusing

In the grand scheme of things, there are almost always Attached Bills or whatever to other things for consideration OR appropriation that they, the GOV, play with All the time. They negotiate on all sorts of things and its usually a tit for tat thing, meaning, You do this for me, Iâll do this for you and then they tie it in on the bigger things so as to go thru and be approved or disapproved. I was with A.B.A.T.E. of Georgia State for the Bill to Repeal the current helmet laws back in the 1990âs and it got attached to a Bill that went to the capital and took 11 years of arguments to finally get passed but was attached to a bunch of other things that the officials either knew Would or Would Not pass. Its a game that unfortunately we donât have alot of pull or play in. Yes, petitions are a good thing, sometimes they listen but mostly only when there will be an election and they see what the majority to elect then wants. This is all called Bureaucracy and simple Politics here in the US. Not sure how else to put it but I suppose the short answer would just be BS that We The People have to deal with. I hope I shed a little light on your question.
