Your Right to a Smoke Free Environment

50 years ago smoking may have been considered a “right” that many people around the world enjoyed on a daily basis but in the modern world, smoking is no longer considered a right and is heavily regulated.

It doesn’t matter where you go, from cities like Phoenix Arizona to London England, anti-smoking laws are becoming more common place. Smokers are no longer allowed to light up in public places or even in once commonly safe places like bars, night clubs or sporting events. All of these new anti-smoking laws are for the purpose of aiding in the average person’s right to a smoke free environment.

Electronic Cigarettes

Thanks to electronic cigarettes, any smoker can get their nicotine fix anytime they want, even in public places because; with an ecigarette no lighting up is required. One eCig contains a small battery, atomizer and cartridge of liquid nicotine called “smoke juice”. To smoke an e cigarette all you do is inhale and vapor of liquid nicotine mixed with water will be released into your body to give you the nicotine fix that you’re craving.

Electronic cigarettes can be purchased anywhere from convenience stores where smoking products are sold to the internet via most major websites. The average price for a starter kit of eCigarettes is $55 and one kit comes with between five and 10 eCigs. The main difference in price between ecigs and a pack of real cigarettes is that one eCig will last a smoker about as long as 20 cigarettes. This means a huge savings over the course of one month. It’s possible for an average smoker to save at least $100 or more per month thanks to eCigarettes.

Protecting Ourselves and Our Pets

Studies have shown that pets that are owned by smokers are just as susceptible to getting tumors and cancers as their owners are. With ecigarettes and improved smokeless cigarette safety, any pet owner can reduce the health risks of exposing their pets to second hand smoke and pro-long their lives as well too.

Protecting Your Rights While Protesting

In the United States of America we have the inalienable right to protest; and protest we do. But there are ways to go about it and ways to avoid protesting. The first will get you an organized, lawful meeting area and the second will get you… jail.

Crazy But Legal Ft. Worth Protests

Let’s say you decide to chain yourself to a tree in protest. Is the tree on private property? If it is, you’re trespassing and can be arrested. Is the tree on public property? If it is, as long as you’re not interfering with the project taking place in the area, a danger to others or blocking traffic you might just get away with it.

A Few Tips for a Legal Protest in Ft. Worth

You stand a better chance of not getting arrested if you follow these tips:
• Be sure to clean up after your demonstration is over
• Cameras may be everywhere because the paparazzi loves demonstrations; on the other hand you may want cameras there in case something of significance happens (make sure that the law in your specific area allows the taping of such events)
• Nothing offensive or obscene on your picket signs and for god’s sake don’t hit anybody with one
• Please be civil and act like an adult, you’ll get enough negative publicity without resorting to unruliness or violence; don’t fan the fires
• No alcohol—no weapons

Policies on protesting and the legality of it vary from county to county. Ideally, the police department of every county or city should know what the laws are. Before protesting in the Fort Worth area check the law and consult a Ft. Worth lawyer. You are taking your safety and ‘freedom’ into your own hands when you decide to protest. Go about it is legally as you possibly can and you may stand a chance in court, should you be arrested. Oh and one more thing… Don’t forget the lawyer.

Stay Connected and Support Your Activism With A Broadband Connection

The great thing about having a broadband internet connection in your home or office in this day and age is that a high speed internet connection offers more freedom and flexibility than an outdated dial up or DSL internet connection.

Many people around the country have been slow to start using a mobile broadband but, once they switch to it, they never want to go back to slower methods of connecting to the internet.

Which Network Is Better?

Some people might have a hard time choosing a broadband internet connection since every major carrier in this day and age claims that their coverage is better than the other. To find out which broadband service is reliable and which one isn’t you should do the following:

1. Go online to research broadband carriers in consumer forums.
2. Use the National Broadband Map at www.broadbandmap.gov to research broadband speeds in your city or state plus find reliable providers.
3. Check out the Better Business Bureau website to look for reliable broadband carriers in your area. Make sure that the company you choose doesn’t have any customer complaints or negative feedback against them online.

How Much Speed Do You Need?

When it comes to broadband, the speed that you need depends on what you intend to use your broadband connection for. If you’re going to use your broadband connection for gaming, you should try to get a broadband speed of 4 Mbps or higher but for every day office use, you will do just fine with a speed of 1.9 Mbps to 3.9 Mbps.

How To Keep Your Broadband Speed Fast

As with any internet connection, broadband can sometimes slow down over time, this is due to a variety of factors like outdated antivirus protection for your computer. One of the most common problems is when other people illegally use your wireless broadband signal for their own personal gain. To solve this problem you should change your wireless password every six months to insure that you’re using a password that’s not easy to figure out by any hacker.

Extend the Activism Budget with Discount Vouchers

There’s any number of ways in which someone can behave that would technically make them an “activist”. Being a vegetarian, for instance, is a common form of activism – even if only for dietary reasons, one is still making a conscious decision not to support the mass production of animal products. To others, activism is more focused, like Anya Cordell (who won the 2010 Spirit of Anne Frank Award) who has worked to promote a message of tolerance and positivity among different ethnic groups.

Not for the Light of Wallet

Cordell, however, has published a book and conducts workshops and exhibitions in Evanston, Illinois. In other words, dedicated activism isn’t something that can often be done on a shoe-string budget. The recent demonstrations across the United States by the Occupy Wall Street protesters shed some light on this. In order to protest in such a manner, one has to potentially miss work, perhaps even having to travel.

Dress Warmly, Eat and Sleep Well

When it comes to meals and accommodations, the forward-thinking activist will find a good number of online discount vouchers for restaurants, such as frankie and bennys vouchers and hotels – many of which are located in precisely those downtown areas where most of the protests have been taking place. As fall progresses toward winter, one might also consider those fashion items that will serve them well on the streets – like hunting socks, knit caps and thermal underwear. Discount vouchers on those items can be easily found as well.

Activism is (and always has been) serious stuff. Recent news about a protest that was violently broken up by riot police in Oakland, California illustrate how voicing your opinion – in accordance with your Constitutional rights – might well land you in jail, at least temporarily. Every dollar you can save with online discount vouchers could go into the fund to bail out your fellow activists, or even yourself, if necessary. Activism on a budget is as good as any other kind of activism!
