What Can I Do To Change The New Tobacco Taxes Just Amended Into the SCHIP Bill?
Find answers to your legal question.

What can I do as an American citizen to let the federal government know that I am not happy with the new tobacco taxes they just added to the SCHIP Bill?

A cigarette tax increase of 62 cents—bringing the total tax on a pack of cigarettes to $1.01—an increase of tax on loose tobacco from $1.10/lb. to $24.78/lb.—an increase of tax on chewing tobacco from $0.195/lb. to $0.50/lb

It's not right.
