Hi Phil,
My names Vince van Heerden, you may have heard of the case in Australia where the government is trying to ban all ecig hardware in Australia. Unfortunately I am at the center of the case and have been criminally prosecuted for running a vape shop. I am the only person in the world who can say that… I am desperately trying to appeal the decision and overturn the ruling.
I have been raising the funds to fight through crowd sourcing and have managed to raise around $70,000 but I wont be able to proceed unless I manage to raise at least another $30,000 over the next couple of weeks.
If I fail to raise the funds, Australia is set to become the first country in the world to ban ecigs and a great many people are going to be denied the right to choose a life saving alternative.
This precedent will likely be used by other countries to push the anti ecig agenda. Australia has such a small vaping population that raising the funds alone seems out of our reach.
I appeared on Russ Wishtarts show 2 days ago and subsequently $13,000 has been raised via the international support! What has become clear is that without support from our international vaping brothers we are doomed to fail.
I am messaging you to beg for your help. To ask you to mention the battle being fought here in Australia or in a perfect world to let me talk with you on one of your shows to get the message out.
We share I think the same beliefs and if we stand together we can fight the endemic corruption attacking vapers everywhere.
