Pennyslvania state legislators begin debating Cigar Taxes this week. Cigar taxes not only directly increase what you pay for cigars, but also drive cigar businesses and hundreds of jobs out of state. To everyone who responded to my prior message asking you to contact your state Senator and voice opposition to Governor Rendell's proposed new cigar tax, we thank you and ask that you place one more call this week. For those who have not yet responded, I urge you to do so.

This week the stakes are raised, and timing is critical. If you oppose cigar taxes, call this toll-free cigar tax hotline 1-877-978-9993 right now. An operator will connect you directly to your Pennsylvania Senator's office. Simply state that as a constituent you strongly oppose cigar taxes. The whole process takes less than 5 minutes....and your action is critical right now.

Please call 1-877-978-9993 (Mon-Fri 9am to 5pm).
