Hey Folks, Didn't see it posted, but another excise bill has been brought to the table in the House. I know it is frustrating and you've all done this before, but please contact your Congressmen and Senators. Believe it or not they know each other and talk. The more folks that are aware, the better chance we have. http://thehill.com/regulation/243078-house-bill-would-make-vodka-whiskey-and-rum-cheaper Here is the link that I found. Thanks, Todd
