Here is a mailing that we've recently sent out to my approximately 1,500 customers in California:

Michael,

As the November General Elections are less than a month away, we want to take this opportunity to urge you to VOTE NO! on Prop. 86 on November 7!

Prop. 86 is more than just an excessive tax cigars and cigarettes that will go into effect if Prop. 86 is approved! Prop. 86 is about bad politics.

Ÿ It’s about the already money-rich hospitals becoming even richer.

Ÿ It’s about hospitals exempting themselves from the State Constitution!

Ÿ It’s about our small business being scuttled because of private bureaucrats who continue to demand a minority (cigar and tobacco consumers) to fund pet projects for the state.

Do not let special interest groups continue to control our great state we call home!

Please Vote NO! on Prop. 86 on November 7. We urge you to tell all your friends, family, co-workers—anyone who believes in fairness and freedom—to Vote No! on Prop. 86!

If you stop by our retail store (address below) on election day proudly displaying your “I’ve Voted” sticker, you’ll get a free cigar! Tell your friends…

Thanks from the gang at Tobacco Barn, PipeShop.com, MeerschaumPipes.com and Lighters Galore!
