CRA Supports H.J. Res. 99
CRA is working with Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) to amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to exempt premium cigars from regulation by the FDA. While CRA's victories in the case against FDA have barred current regulation by the FDA (though FDA has appealed), Rep. Donald's bill, if passed, would protect our industry from re-regulation in the future as well.
Our Legislative Director, Mike Copperman, has been hard at work driving support for the bill, which currently has ten bi-partisan co-sponsors in addition to Rep. Donalds:
Rep. Steven Horsford (D-NV)
Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX)
Rep. Dina Titus (D-NV)
Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ)
Rep. Jimmy Panetta (D-CA)
Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL)
Rep. Nicholas A. Langworthy (R-NY)
Rep. Mark E. Amodei (R-NV)
Rep. Mike Bost (R-IL)
Rep. Ken Calvert (R-CA)
Rep. Jake LaTurner (R-KS)
Rep. Andrew Garbarino (R-NY)
Rep. Kelly Armstrong (R-ND)
Mike Copperman Appointed Executive Director of CRA
Cigar Rights of America is proud to announce that Mike Copperman has been appointed the Executive Director of CRA.

Will the Premium Cigars You Enjoy Today Be Around Tomorrow?
For consumers, premium cigars represent a lifestyle, provide relaxation, and create opportunities to meet new people. For retailers and manufacturers, premium cigars are a generations-old family legacy that supports their livelihood, as well as that of so many others around them. Unfortunately, premium cigars are under attack from the FDA and over-generalized legislation meant to target cigarettes and other non-premium products.
IF YOU ANSWERED YES TO ANY OF THE ABOVE, CRA IS FOR YOU.
CRA brings cigar enthusiasts together with industry leaders to uphold our cigar rights.
