This is the scary part.
Just think they hired all these felons to get the signatures on the petition to get the smoking ban put on the ballot .
ok
Now these felons have the name and address of all of them.
One of these felons was sent to prison a few weeks ago for raping a child under the age of 13
If I had signed it, I would be very afraid.

So if I'm a taxpaying nudist, I get to walk around naked at Chuck. E. Cheese? Others can just wear clothes if they want to?
Like they say, having a smoking section in a public restaurant is like having a peeing section in a public pool.

This is a stupid pathetic post if I ever saw one.

You only say that because I disagree with you.

No, your post makes no sense what so ever.
Did you sign the petition to put the smoking ban on the ballot? Any of your friends or family sign it.
They are in extreme danger, did you know it?

Why would anyone donate to the American Cancer Society?
I think the United States should seize ever dime from the non profits that receive tax dollars that make a fantastic living off the second hand smoke propaganda! Did you know the Ohio ACS director gets over $500,000 a year? The ACS CEO over $100,000,000 a year and get our tax money!

Extreme danger, huh? I think you may be a little overly dramatic, to say the least!!!!!
And I'll make what I mean a little easier to understand: Just because a person pays taxes doesn't mean the can do anything they please, and everyone else has to suffer because of it. Your rights end where others' rights begin.

If you don't know why anyone would donate, then I'm assuming you've never been a cancer patient in need of help.

Anyone who owns a bar, restaurant or private club who's been hurt BECAUSE THE STATE OF OHIO AND BOARDS OF ELECTIONS DID NOT DO THEIR JOBS, call the Buckeye Liquor Permit Holders Association and JOIN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT.

So you think this is ok? How does this help the cancer patients?
The ACS CEO over $100,000,000 a year and get our tax money!

[dontthinkso]

Back on topic, Ohioans voted and the majority voted for a smoking ban. And the last time I checked, that's the way this country rolls. You're not always going to get your way just because you want to.

Where's the cure after you have suckered millions of dollars out of American while only spending 6 CENTS of every dollar taken in upon cancer patients!

So the CEO should work for free? If you read, you'll see only 9% of the expenses went to administrative costs.

[dontthinkso]

And the salary you claim the CEO makes is ONE HUNDRED times bigger than the actual amount that the BBB lists.

It amazes me that people will stand firm behind the tobacco companies (who help millions of people basically kill and maim themselves), but they all out badmouth the american cancer society, who are NON-PROFIT (unlike the tobacco companies) and they HELP people who are going through a horrible situation. Verrrrrry ironic!
