Tobacco Control

Dear Friends, January 16th is the Iowa Caucus. I strongly encourage you to head out to your local caucus location and make your opinions known. You can find out more information about your party's caucus locations by checking out the Iowa Democratic Party web site: http://www.iowademocrats.org/2006caucus/ or the Iowa Republican Party web site: http://www.iowagop.org/Caucuses/. I don’t know about the Green Party. It is vital to our democratic system that all people participate in the process. All Iowa Democratic Caucuses start at 6:30 p.m. The 2006 Republican Caucuses are this Monday, January 16th at 7:00 p.m. Check your counties website for more information on time and location. As caucus attendees, you will have the chance to speak out for our three pronged approach to tobacco control (Tobacco Tax, Smokefree Environments, and Funding for comprehensive tobacco control). I encourage you to participate in the county and district conventions. These conventions help fine tune the party platform and candidate support. I encourage you to move forward to the county and district convention as well to support the ideas that will help lead Iowa towards a healthy future. We know that the majority of Iowans support an increased tobacco tax, smokefree environments, and tobacco prevention. These are universal values that all Iowan’s can agree on. Attached are resolutions on these three issues which you can introduce at your caucus. Thank you for your continued support. Eileen Fisher
