1. Assembly Bill AB1159 To Be Heard May 12th: Smokers United. Assembly Bill AB1159 To Be Heard May 12th, co-authored by Assemblymen Lou Papan and Brett Granlund, which will overturn the California smokefree bars ban, was amended on 4/26 and will be heard again next week, May 12th. These are the people in whose hands our future rests. If it is voted down here, it will be dead. This may be our last, best hope to begin to get our country back. Let them hear from you. Faxes and snail mail are better than e-mail, but do whatever you can. Call, write, fax, e-mail--anything is better than letting them think we don't care about this.

2. Suspicious Deaths: By Geoff Metcalf. This file is the "Boot Hill" of the liberty forum. It contains a listing of suspicious deaths/suicides surrounding Clinton, BCCI, Inslaw, and the Ives/Henry murders. (Do you really want to be Clinton's friend?!)

3. Treason 101 - A Comprehensive Outline: by Gretchen Glass You might read this and say "Now, this has the makings of a good conspiracy theory!". Unfortunately, though, this stuff is true. The Not So Presidential Page.

4. Smoking Claims Debunked: By the Cato Institute. CNS Information Services. Science adulterated and debased for political ends; "propaganda parades as fact."

5. Turning Tobacco Into a Lifesaver The Washington Post Company. Compiled from reports by David Brown and Rob Stein. Tests, in which the plants are grown in contaminated soil, are still needed, but "this example suggests that transgenic plants expressing microbial degradative genes may provide a generally applicable strategy for bioremediation of organic pollutants in soil," the researchers write.

6. Smokers and Beta-Carotene: HealthNews. From the Publishers of the New England Journal of Medicine.

7. NMCPP Smoker's Rights #2: Rights is the main subject. Smokers is the secondary subject.

8. The Care and Feeding of The Press: A guide for press relations staff (or those who play them on TV).by Esther Schindler, for the Internet Press Guild, with the input of many other members.

9. We Are Everyday People:
*** The Simpsons vs. Smoking: Originally by Stuart Jackson. Maintained by Haynes Lee. A great number of the characters are seen smoking.
*** The Official Denis Leary Web Site: Denis Leary.
*** I Smoke & I Vote: Don't Trend On Me. Alienation of smokers, raising costs, enacting laws that only pertain to one segment of its lawbiding population is un-American and just plain foolish.
*** Heat Up Your Life... Date A Smoker: Internet Personals. Finally, here is a dating service for smokers, where you can meet your match and be yourself without worrying about emotional blackmails and guilt trips.
*** Marlboroland: Adults Only. Personal ads page for smokers, gay, messageboard, links and more.
