I'm now issuing a "Call to Arms" to my BOTL to become CRA members if you have not done so already. In speaking with heads of the organization I have been impressed with their model of grass roots beginnings much like the NRA in building a following and lobbying team in battling new tax increases and smoking bans. Not only will your monies go directly to fight new taxes and smoking bans but the membership entitles you to free invites to local cigar events with the major manufacturers and free giveaways. They have in the past offered free trip raffles to Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, Honduras and the Bahamas. I was invited to a private members only after party during the big smoke in Connecticut where all the major manufacturers gave out cigars, drinks, and discussed all the issues and concerns with CRA members.

As a consumer I really want to support our rights to smoke in more places and let our local governments know that we are tired of those restrictions. To sweeten new membership to my BOTL brothers if you sign up now and SS me that you did I will send you a little something you might enjoy as I believe there is strength in our numbers. The only thing I ask is when you go to their website to become a member please denote that you heard from Christian and include my member # 175966. The more of us that have a voice, the more the politicians have to listen as the bottom line is they want to keep their jobs and need our votes. I will also keep you updated on events going on and the new cigars coming soon to only CRA members. I got a sneak preview and you will not be disappointed! Thanks for your support!! Christian, CRA Ambassador.

In addition as always if you get in touch with me and let me know that you joined and include your address I will send you a stick as well as thanks for supporting the cause. Also my member # is 175966. Thanks again for supporting this cause and let's continue to fight for our Cigar Rights of America! Christian CRA Ambassador.

Wouldn't you like to know?
I signed up today. Canada does not have a decent tobacco lobby of any kind so I figure I better protect my ability to smoke on vacation. Canadians have gotten way to used to tobacco taxes, smoking bans, advertising bans and tobacco bans. I think that CRA is a great ally against the represive laws.

Living in NY, I feel that it's a complete necessity to be involved with CRA, and couldn't be happier to support such a great movement. Thanks for all you do!

Thanks for the post... it was a great reminder and kick in the ass to get me signed up. I've been wanting to the last couple months but having a baby in the house keeps me going in different directions most of the time!

Anyway, I'm a little confused on who we should say referred us? The post says "Christian" but obviously you started this thread Eric.... So who is the actual referrer? Is there 2 of you requesting our help or one person?

Thanks!

How can you pass that up bros? Look at the cost and what you get just for free...it is a wash and you get to be apart of the CRA crew. And...I am pretty sure they are still offering up a drawing for a cigar trip to newbies who sign up...just a tid bit of info...

I signed up two weeks ago. I've been so pissed with what the gov't is doing to our rights. Taking away our right to smoke OUTSIDE? And those damn 'floor taxes'... etc. Not to mention all the retailers who will eventually not be able stay in business because the friggin taxes are killing them.

We can't smoke but some fatass can continue to get fatter and fatter and drive our healthcare costs up by eating a damn big mac with 70 grams of fat three and four times a day. Why isn't that guy getting taxed out the ass for the fatty food?

Hey Aloha, just to clarify I am one person,(I think) as my name is Christian but my handle is ericdriscoll. I got that name from a spy novel and I have now been eric for years on the boards. However my name is Christian and any and all that join up here are supporting a great cause and the trips, info, and offers are great as well. Thanks for the support!
