Will you be an advocate for stronger legislation??
Will you be an advocate for higher taxes on tobacco?
Will you be an advocate for increased funding of tobacco prevention and cessation programs?
Will you be an advocate for CHANGE?
Will you print a page of tags and write your personal story or a tobacco related fact, and then pass it on?
Will you march in the silent march on 3-24-2010?
Will you post any of this to your facebook page and possibly save a life?
Will you stand up for kids that don't have a voice, but are still exposed to secondhand smoke?
Will you?

Will you?

Will you?

So, we were brainstorming about a month ago on unique ways to get involved and spread the message that that NO tobacco is safe tobacco.   So, one way, I'm going to do this is by posting to my facebook status ARKANSAS facts that tell the story of our campaign.   For instance, did you know that 177,000 Arkansas Kids are exposed to secondhand smoke in their homes?  Yes, it is true...AND THAT'S WHY, No tobacco is safe tobacco.  I posted that fact to my status a few moments ago.  I'm eager to see the different responses if any.  In fact, I'm going to record all the responses and figure out what my facebook friends think about my posts.
