The council's smoking ban legislation is now off to Congress for approval.  I believe it goes to the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs (all you gov't types can correct me if I'm wrong).  For all of us ban opponents, this is the last chance we have to stop the ban in its entirety.  I urge you to write to the Senators on the committee and ask that they block the DC council legislation.  And yes, I think it's wrong that Congress even has this power, but they do.  When a law so blatantly tramples civil liberty on grounds that are so obviously spurious, I'll use any means necessary to stop it.

Here's who you should contact.  I was going to prepare a group "mailto" link, but apparently you have to use their web forms to send them email.  At least contact Voinovich, who I believe is the subcommittee chairman.
