I received this postcard over the weekend from a physician who lives in the 4th District and whom I like and respect. I suspect the card is the first of many.
The card is sponsored by Tobacco Free Allen County. Tobacco Free Allen County is funded through the Tobacco Use Prevention and Cessation Trust Fund.
The reverse of the card states:
Let your City Council member know you support the smoking ordinance!
Tobacco Free Allen County needs you to call write or email City Council members and let them know you want them to retain the smoke-free ordinance. We'll even deliver this card for you if you send it back to us!
If the group's name is "Tobacco Free Allen County" then they should also be urging the citizens of Allen County to contact county officials as well as city officials.
I hope they have a mailing going out to county residents to urge them to contact the county officials to make the smoking ban countywide, which definitely is more fair than it is now. And, by the way, I am not a smoker and never have been.
Anyone know whether cards have been sent to county residents?
