 Hello Robb,

Okay, I've been reading your web site for about 3 hours now.  I am a little more familiar with the issues now.  :) 
I do have a couple of questions that I haven't found answers to yet, that I was hoping maybe you could send me the link for.
I am assuming you learned all about these violantions from your job as a tobacco company representative.  Is that correct?

On your home page, it says, "By the use of as many tobacco company forms, guides and documents as possible, we will be exposing an incredible array of fraudulent tobacco industry policies, practices, procedures and false claims."  I was wondering if you have those documents that refer to the sales tax issue on-line?  I saw the documents about advertising, tar and freshness, but I haven't come across the other documents yet.  For instance, do you have available on the web-site the proof you provided to the IRS?  (I have read all the press releases, now - thank you for pointing me to them!) 

Also, I was wondering if you know of any articles in national or local papers or magazines that have been written on this topic.  I did a quick google search, but didn't find any.  I am guessing you have links to them on your site, too.  If there haven't been any, do you know why this story hasn't been picked up yet?

Finally, where do things stand now with the IRS?  You mentioned they had bogus reasons for not investigating - the expired form, etc.  I read the 4 responses from the IRS.  Is anything else going on and do you have any idea why they will not pursue this?

I really hope I'm not annoying you.  I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything. 

Many thanks for your help!!!
Meg
