From: Kirsten Frandsen To: Bruce Rytkonen Tutrecia Giles Hanna Zarellijackson Samantha Yeun Date: 4/4/2011 9:51:38 AM Subject: E-cigs and SIPP regulations
Good morning, On Thursday afternoon last week, Steve and I talked about a timeline for the e-cigs and SIPP regulations. Apparently, Dr. Chen would like to see both of these regulations passed at the May 4th board meeting. That leaves us with about 4 weeks to get everything done. Greg Jacoby (legal counsel) is working on the regulation language but we have other things that we need to do to prepare for this. Do you have some time to meet this AM to discuss? I know that Tutricia is out on vacation but if the rest of us could meet, that would be great. Ill send out a meeting request shortly. Thanks, Kirsten

Hello, My name is Kim Thompson, I am the owner of The Vaporium in Lakewood where we are dedicated to a smokefree environment. I am writing to extend an invitation to visit our shop to see first hand how electronic cigarettes work. I opened this shop in January 2011 due to my success quitting a 20+ year smoking habit through the use of smoke-less e-cigs. Since opening, we have sold over 150 starter kits to smokers that wanted to rid themselves of the negative health effects caused by cigarettes. Our success over the last 3 months is directly connected to the success rate of our clients; approximately 40% of our business comes from referrals of those who have been triumphant in either quitting or dramatically reducing the amount they smoke. We hear positive stories everyday from those who have started vaping and consequently stopped smoking. The majority of our clients range from 35-60 years of age and have smoked for over 20 years. All of them have reported to having tried several times and several ways to quit smoking with zero success until using our products. As of yet, not one e-cigarette sale has been to a non-smoker that decided to start vaping. Although there is currently no regulation restricting us from selling to minors, we do not and will not ever sell this product to a minor; minors are not allowed on premise unless accompanied by an adult guardian. It is my understanding that Pierce County is currently discussing regulating electronic cigarettes. I am strongly in favor of regulation. Recently, Spokane County implemented thoughtful regulation of e-cigarettes, banning them from minors and on school property. I believe this to be accurate decision making on the part of Spokane County and would like to see this same ruling take place in Pierce County. It has been my personal experience that allowing adults to vaporize in public does not encourage smokers to light up nor does it encourage non-smokers or minors to start vaping. On the contrary, vaping in public (especially in bars
8_19_2011
Page 2
and restaurants that cater to adults) brings awareness to those who may otherwise not be exposed to e-cigarettes. Part of my marketing strategy is to be where smokers are in order to enlighten them to this amazing technology. When smokers see me vaping inside it immediately dawns on them that I am vaping a smokeless device which leads them to question the product and my success with electronic cigarettes. Many of our clients start vaping simply as an alternative to smoking so that they can stay inside; this generally leads them to start vaping in all aspects of their daily life instead of lighting up. I am sensitive to the fact that no one wants to glamorize nicotine and potentially create an atmosphere that encourages children to start smoking or vaping. However, I do not believe that allowing a smoke-less device inside does this. Currently, smokers are relegated to outdoor areas where they are readily seen by many people including the youth. While it is true that some Vapers may continue to vape, many others do use this product to ween themselves off of nicotine and consequently quitt smoking and vaporizing altogether. This is our hope for people who are currently battling this addictive habit. Quitting is difficult, so anything we can do to make switching to vaporization more attractive WILL produce non-smokers. If the county were to ban the use of this product in public it would greatly reduce the number of smokers that would be willing to try it. To send a new Vaper outdoors with the smokers will likely result in relapse. I am very proud of the work we do. We have been a big part of positively effecting the lives and health of those in our community; not only those who smoke but those nearest the smokers; this product eliminates the dangers of second-hand carcinogens. There is no smoke / carcinogens, ashes, or butts that liter our streets, vehicles, or homes. It is true that nicotine is an addictive substance just as caffeine is addictive however, ones addiction to nicotine does not cause others to be addicted simply by witnessing the act of vaping. After much research and speculation, I am unable to come up with any supportive information that would justify a ban of the kind that King County has implemented. I am proud to be a member of society within Pierce County, and have never felt that King County and their judgments were superior to ours. Below I have included informational links that help to uncover the true story behind smoke-less electronic cigarettes. Please feel free to come and visit or contact me at anytime with any concerns or questions. I thank you for your time and consideration regarding this very important matter. We also encourage you to forward this to anyone that you believe would be interested in or benefit from this information. Yours Truly, Kim Thompson The Vaporium 10626 Bridgeport Way SW Lakewood, WA 253-973-VAPE (8273)

We may simply wish to cite the T/PCBH role as the protector of public health and the purely mercenary position of the retailers. They are the bad guy, endangering public health, particularly children, for their own personal gain. The burden of future health care placed on the public from tobacco use far exceeds their personal gain. The pitch that e-cigarettes are a method of cessation is particularly far out, starting out with the strongest strength and then gradually going down to no nicotine in the e-cigarette.

From: Bridget Vandeventer To: Kirsten Frandsen Steve Marek Date: 4/4/2011 1:31:34 PM Subject: RE: An Invitation to The Vaporium Shes running a fairly smart campaign, Id say. Her Facebook page is posting somewhat compelling articles, shes asking for help from the CASAA e-cigs forum and shes building her argument. The only weakness in her approach is that shes showing us all her cards ahead of time!
Id suggest that we build out a talk track that counters each of her points. I can build in some pre-resolution media outreach, but we just have to expect that shell be included in any of those stories.

The big weakness in her arguments is that most are anecdotal- not proven. Although we dont have the data to counter argue the points, I suggest that we take it from a common sense approach (difficult to enforce if we cant tell the difference between e-cigs/reg cigs and they look so similar to real cigs that kids will be getting cross messaging).
Another thought- If we feel that point #2 in our e-cig regs (no smoking e-cigs in places where regular cigs are prohibited) is going to be the most highly contested argument, perhaps we can do our own quick study on this point to gather some data.

I am not aware of any alcoholic who broke the habit by continuing to drink. I will work on this more over the weekend.

Bridget Vandeventer Kirsten Frandsen 4/5/2011 8:38:36 PM Comms plan draft May 2011 Tobacco Regulations_Comm Plan.docx
I'm getting close on the tobacco resolutions comms plan, and would love to chat it over with you and get some feedback. The attached is VERY draft, but I want to know if you think this is getting close to what you're thinking. Some of this is probably overkill, but I'd rather start with it in there and cut stuff than realize that we didn't plan big enough.
I'm in meetings galore tomorrow, so am not sure that I'll have much time to discuss, but I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Here it isFrom: Steve Marek Sent: Friday, April 01, 2011 8:46 PM To: Kirsten Frandsen; Frank Dibiase; Anthony Chen Subject: FW: An Invitation to The Vaporium
fyi
Hello, My name is Kim Thompson, I am the owner of The Vaporium in Lakewood where we are dedicated to a smokefree environment. I am writing to extend an invitation to visit our shop to see first hand how electronic cigarettes work. I opened this shop in January 2011 due to my success quitting a 20+ year smoking habit through the use of smoke-less e-cigs. Since opening, we have sold over 150 starter kits to smokers that wanted to rid themselves of the negative health effects caused by cigarettes. Our success over the last 3 months is directly connected to the success rate of our clients; approximately 40% of our business comes from referrals of those who have been triumphant in either quitting or dramatically reducing the amount they smoke. We hear positive stories everyday from those who have started vaping and consequently stopped smoking. The majority of our clients range from 35-60 years of age and have smoked for over 20 years. All of them have reported to having tried several times and several ways to quit smoking with zero success until using our products. As of yet, not one e-cigarette sale has been to a non-smoker that decided to start vaping. Although there is currently no regulation restricting us from selling to minors, we do not and will not ever sell this product to a minor; minors are not allowed on premise unless accompanied by an adult guardian. It is my understanding that Pierce County is currently discussing regulating electronic cigarettes. I am strongly in favor of regulation. Recently, Spokane County implemented thoughtful regulation of e-cigarettes, banning them from minors and on school property. I believe this to be accurate decision making on the part of Spokane County and would like to see this same ruling take place in Pierce County. It has been my personal experience that allowing adults to vaporize in public does not encourage smokers to light up nor does it encourage non-smokers or minors to start vaping. On the contrary, vaping in public (especially in bars and restaurants that cater to adults) brings awareness to those who may otherwise not be exposed to e-cigarettes. Part of my marketing strategy is to be where smokers are in order to enlighten them to this amazing technology. When smokers see me vaping inside it immediately dawns on them that I am vaping a smokeless device which leads them to question the product and my success with electronic cigarettes. Many of our clients start vaping simply as an alternative to smoking so that they can stay inside; this generally leads them to start vaping in all aspects of their daily life instead of lighting up.
8_19_2011
Page 2
I am sensitive to the fact that no one wants to glamorize nicotine and potentially create an atmosphere that encourages children to start smoking or vaping. However, I do not believe that allowing a smoke-less device inside does this. Currently, smokers are relegated to outdoor areas where they are readily seen by many people including the youth. While it is true that some Vapers may continue to vape, many others do use this product to ween themselves off of nicotine and consequently quitt smoking and vaporizing altogether. This is our hope for people who are currently battling this addictive habit. Quitting is difficult, so anything we can do to make switching to vaporization more attractive WILL produce non-smokers. If the county were to ban the use of this product in public it would greatly reduce the number of smokers that would be willing to try it. To send a new Vaper outdoors with the smokers will likely result in relapse. I am very proud of the work we do. We have been a big part of positively effecting the lives and health of those in our community; not only those who smoke but those nearest the smokers; this product eliminates the dangers of second-hand carcinogens. There is no smoke / carcinogens, ashes, or butts that liter our streets, vehicles, or homes. It is true that nicotine is an addictive substance just as caffeine is addictive however, ones addiction to nicotine does not cause others to be addicted simply by witnessing the act of vaping. After much research and speculation, I am unable to come up with any supportive information that would justify a ban of the kind that King County has implemented. I am proud to be a member of society within Pierce County, and have never felt that King County and their judgments were superior to ours. Below I have included informational links that help to uncover the true story behind smoke-less electronic cigarettes. Please feel free to come and visit or contact me at anytime with any concerns or questions. I thank you for your time and consideration regarding this very important matter. We also encourage you to forward this to anyone that you believe would be interested in or benefit from this information. Yours Truly, Kim Thompson The Vaporium 10626 Bridgeport Way SW Lakewood, WA 253-973-VAPE (8273)

Thanks for putting this together. Lots to get done between now and the May BOH mtg.
Here are some suggested changes:
1. Change the dates for the E-cig regulation given we don't have it from Greg yet. Might as well make the dates realistic. 2. It looks like there's no time allowed to make changes to the SIPP regulation after Anthony reviews it. We should allow at least a day to make changes based on his feedback because we can expect he'll have comments. Will he also be reviewing the E-cig reg at the same time? To extent possible, should probably get drafts to Anthony earlier than 4/14 assuming the 4/15 date of publishing notice of the regs is not negotiable. 3. Notification of the public - If I'm understanding correctly, the 4/15 date is when an add will run in the papers letting people know the draft regs are available for review and 4/27 is the meeting date for public comment. If this is correct, I would re-title first item under "Solicit Community Input" to something like, "Public notice that draft regulations are available for review" and, I think it would be good to add a task indicating you'll be working with Gina and/or purchasing to get adds placed in "papers of record" and TNT (as you did for the public meeting 4/8). 4. Develop presentation for public hearing- would be good to indicate when first draft will be available for review and when Anthony will review it. 5. I would also suggest you use Bridget to help with the development of the presentation for the public meeting. 6. It might be a good idea to send info to the Board before 4/15 so they have a "heads-up" before it reaches the papers. They may get calls on 4/15. 7. If there is to be a presentation at the 4/20 Board study session, you should probably add an item or two related to the development and review of the presentation.
That's it for now. Thanks Kirsten. From: Kirsten Frandsen Sent: Wednesday, April 06, 2011 6:18 AM To: Frank Dibiase; Steve Marek; Samantha Yeun; Bridget Vandeventer; Bruce Rytkonen; 'gaj@mcgavick.com' Subject: Updated process and timeline- request feedback by Friday

Good morning,
Attached you will find a spreadsheet with activities/tasks and a corresponding timeline, as it relates to our upcoming SIPP and E-Cigs regulations.
If everyone could please take a careful look at the document and provide feedback on it by Friday of this weekthat would be much appreciated. Please note the tight timeline and the designated lead that I have indicated for each major area of activity.
Also, please note that we have weekly meetings scheduled into this document. These times have been determined based on Steve's schedule so would appreciate your flexibility in making these meetings work within your schedule. I'll be sending out meeting requests for these meetings later this morning. At the meetings, it would be great to have an update by each "lead" as to the status of the tasks he/she is working on.
Also, you will see a new name on our planning team- Sam Yeun. I have asked Sam to be involved to represent the E-Cigarette research portion of this work and bring a youth, diversity and partnership perspective. Sam and Bruce will be working together to help with supporting activities.
See you tomorrow at 1 PM. Will send out the meeting location later this morning.

The reason being is that Dr. Chen is out of the office until Thursday of next week so this is the first chance he'll have to review it. Steve thinks that Dr. Chen won't have many suggested revisions so we figured we could make the changes quickly and get the regs posted. This would be our tightest timeline. If you still feel a concern about this, maybe we can talk with Steve and Greg about it tomorrow..... sound good? Sounds good. 3. Sounds good 4. Sounds good 5. Sounds good 6. Sounds good but need clarification. When do you suggest we send based on comment #2 above? If we send a heads up to the board, should we include the regs or is that not necessary? Good point. We should discuss a communication strategy so Board members know in advance that we'll be posting info in the papers on 4/15. We can probably send them key points in the regs prior to 4/15 because they won't read the entire regs. Maybe it should be part of the discussion Anthony has with board members between now and 4/15. If these conversations don't occur, we should be able to send them a "heads-up" email. Let's discuss tomorrow. 7. Sounds good

Hi Kirsten, Thanks for putting this together. Lots to get done between now and the May BOH mtg. Here are some suggested changes: 1. 2. Change the dates for the E-cig regulation given we dont have it from Greg yet. Might as well make the dates realistic. It looks like theres no time allowed to make changes to the SIPP regulation after Anthony reviews it. We should allow at least a day to make changes based on his feedback because we can expect hell have comments. Will he also be reviewing the E-cig reg at the same time? To extent possible, should probably get drafts to Anthony earlier than 4/14 assuming the 4/15 date of publishing notice of the regs is not negotiable. Notification of the public If Im understanding correctly, the 4/15 date is when an add will run in the papers letting people know the draft regs are available for review and 4/27 is the meeting date for public comment. If this is correct, I would re-title first item under Solicit Community Input to something like, Public notice that draft regulations are available for review and, I think it would be good to add a task indicating youll be working with Gina and/or purchasing to get adds placed in papers of record and TNT (as you did for the public meeting 4/8). Develop presentation for public hearing- would be good to indicate when first draft will be available for review and when Anthony will review it. I would also suggest you use Bridget to help with the development of the presentation for the public meeting. It might be a good idea to send info to the Board before 4/15 so they have a heads-up before it reaches the papers. They may get calls on 4/15. If there is to be a presentation at the 4/20 Board study session, you should probably add an item or two related to the development and review of the presentation.

Thats it for now. Thanks Kirsten.

Good morning, Attached you will find a spreadsheet with activities/tasks and a corresponding timeline, as it relates to our upcoming SIPP and E-Cigs regulations. If everyone could please take a careful look at the document and provide feedback on it by Friday of this weekthat would be much appreciated. Please note the tight timeline and the designated lead that I have indicated for each major area of activity. Also, please note that we have weekly meetings scheduled into this document. These times have been determined based on Steves schedule so would appreciate your flexibility in making these meetings work within your schedule. Ill be sending out meeting requests for these meetings later this morning. At the meetings, it would be great to have an update by each lead as to the status of the tasks he/she is working on. Also, you will see a new name on our planning team- Sam Yeun. I have asked Sam to be involved to represent the E-Cigarette research portion of this work and bring a youth, diversity and partnership perspective. Sam and Bruce will be working together to help with supporting activities. See you tomorrow at 1 PM. Will send out the meeting location later this morning. Thanks everyone, Kirsten

Allison Cox Kirsten Frandsen 4/7/2011 3:25:58 PM APICAT Involvement 2011 Tobacco Workplan Allison.xlsx
I discussed with Elaine Ishihara your suggestion to ask as to whether APICAT thought they could help me meet my goal of finding 4 community based organizations that would agree to develop cessation resources for their respective communities. Elaine thought that we could build on TPCHD and APICAT efforts by training the Samoan Nurses of Washington (SNOW) to provide cessation at the local Samoan churches. These churches are now part of a Samoan Coalition that attends APICAT meetings to add tobacco cessation, physical activity and nutrition to their congregation's efforts (this also builds on our Chronic Disease prevention efforts from 2010 since SNOW was one of the recipients of our mini-grants for these efforts).
Meanwhile, the local office of the Samoan National Nurses of America (SNNA) is now another possibility for a similar effort since I just heard from Jackie Lesage (their chair, who is Filipina herself) that they are now focusing on the Filipino community (our largest API minority in Pierce County) so that they are not competing with SNOW. SNNA are also members of APICAT and their main office is located at the Portland Ave. Community Resource Center.
On line 36 of the attached updated Cessation work plan, I rewrote my suggested interaction with APICAT to include the SNOW project and also potentially more API CBO's like SNNA as APICAT's efforts continue this year. If you can look over this aspect of the work plan and let me know when we meet next Tuesday (or sooner) if this looks do-able, then I could attend their meeting that follows our Tuesday morning meeting if you want me to continue to meet and partner with API CBO's for cessation.

Thanks Wendy. Actually, our offices (Physical Activity, Nutrition and Tobacco) are in a separate building from the main building. We are across the street from the main building in 3701 Pacific Ave. in Tacoma.
The building is a large, 3 story cream colored office building with a burgundy stripe across the middle of it. There should be parking on site. Once you reach the building, you will have to go through an iron gate (it is unlocked) and you can take the stairs/elevators to the 3rd floor. When at the 3rd floor, just knock on one of the 2 doors and someone will let you in (they are locked).

Hi Anthony, We chatted about the strategic communications plan for so long during our 1:1 that I didn't get a chance to talk about your next PCMS column.
With our plans around tobacco regulation for the next month or so, it seems like that could be a good topic for the column. May is Allergy and Asthma Awareness Month, and Clean Air month and then it ends with World No

Tobacco Day on May 31. We can tie in statistics about tobacco use in Pierce County, information about e-cigarettes and introduce some of the issues we will be addressing with the two regulations. Since the audience is 95% physicians, this will be a helpful way to gain support and raise awareness of the regulations with an influential audience and support the work Steve and team are doing.
Let me know if you are in agreement with this direction for the piece. If so, I will start drafting the column for your review next week. If it's not the direction you'd like to go, please let me know what you would like instead.

It could be helpful to have the medical community aware of our efforts, and hopefully raise some support that way as well.
Let me know if you have any objections to the idea. I can add it to our communication plan as well. I think I have most of the information I'll need to draft it, but might need to ask you all to review and confirm before it publishes.
Thanks!

With our plans around tobacco regulation for the next month or so, it seems like that could be a good topic for the column. May is Allergy and Asthma Awareness Month, and Clean Air month and then it ends with World No Tobacco Day on May 31. We can tie in statistics about tobacco use in Pierce County, information about e-cigarettes and introduce some of the issues we will be addressing with the two regulations. Since the audience is 95% physicians, this will be a helpful way to gain support and raise awareness of the regulations with an influential audience and support the work Steve and team are doing.
Thanks, Bridget

Hi Frank and Kirsten, Here's my first draft of the column. I need your help filling in some stats, which are called out inline either in highlight or comments. I have some data pulled from sources we've used recently, but I suspect your tobacco team has even better data to flesh this out. We'll want to cite where the statistics are from too.
I'd love your opinion of it as well. Since this is to physicians, this is all about raising support for our resolutions in the medical community. Again this is my first draft and I haven't had anyone else look at it, so I'd love your feedback. It's got a rather persuasive tone, and I'm on the fence if it's too much.
We need to submit a draft to PCMS by Friday, and Anthony will have to approve first. I'd love to get this to him tomorrow-Wednesday - so could I get your feedback by noon tomorrow? I can make more time if you need it.
Thanks! Bridget

Sounds like a good way to pull them together. In the past I did one on Clean Air for Kids in 5/09 (attached). Just check with Steve & Frank regarding how this will impact the new timeline for their resolution. Also, you can negotiate whether (or how much) you or their staff write the content. AC

Hi Liz, here is the newsletter in case you havent received it yet. Thanks, Kirsten
Hi Frank and Kirsten, Heres my first draft of the column. I need your help filling in some stats, which are called out inline either in highlight or comments. I have some data pulled from sources weve used recently, but I suspect your tobacco team has even better data to flesh this out. Well want to cite where the statistics are from too. Id love your opinion of it as well. Since this is to physicians, this is all about raising support for our resolutions in the medical community. Again this is my first draft and I havent had anyone else look at it, so Id love your feedback. Its got a rather persuasive tone, and Im on the fence if its too much. We need to submit a draft to PCMS by Friday, and Anthony will have to approve first. Id love to get this to him tomorrowWednesday so could I get your feedback by noon tomorrow? I can make more time if you need it. Thanks! Bridget

Hi guysI wanted you all to see this. Anthony contributes a monthly column to the Pierce County Medical Society newsletter, which goes to most of the physicians in the county. The May issue is due next week, so I propose introducing some of the themes that well be relying on for the two regulations. It could be helpful to have the medical community aware of our efforts, and hopefully raise some support that way as well. Let me know if you have any objections to the idea. I can add it to our communication plan as well. I think I have most of the information Ill need to draft it, but might need to ask you all to review and confirm before it publishes.

A scenario is, if an employee thinks that e-cig. can help reduce their smoking, would Multicare allows that individual

We're working on proposing our BOH to set this regulation in place and stop selling of E-cig. to minor in the near future, can I ask your/Multicare support? I will let you know once we finalized our process. Thanks again,

Hi Sam,
It's so good to hear from you. To answer your questions below, we have a no e-cig policy for smoke-free campus. See policy attached. We would not allow an employee to use an e-cig to help reduce their smoking. See letter that went out to all employees about our policy and e-cigs.
Thanks!

Hi Lori and Kathy,
How are you doing? I am doing a research on e-cig and I hope you can help me. I know MultiCare has a no tobacco use policy and offers additional benefit to cessation support for staff and family members.

A scenario is, if an employee thinks that e-cig. can help reduce their smoking, would Multicare allows that individual to smoke e-cig. Inside the building/office? If yes, why and if no, why not?

Hi Lori,
As a follow up to yesterdays meeting, I am attaching a few materials..
I looked through the eval summary and it doesnt seem to have a question about the location of the Summit (Murano) and whether folks liked it. This is strange as I thought it was in there. Perhaps it was just that I heard from a lot of people that they really liked the venue that I thought it was on the eval.
Also, I am unable to find the survey/assessment questions but I do have a couple of documents that are wrap ups of this information that are attached. Lastly, it looks like we did send a Save the Date both electronically and in the

Thanks for everything Lori- you guys are doing a great job!

Thanks Anthony. Attached is a cleaned up and final copy of this. I accepted your changes and made a few minor clarify edits. I am having Liz Pulos check the smoking rate figure for 1965. That data does not really add up quite right and I cant find the original source either, so I want to make sure it is accurate before we use it.
Im hesitant to add more resource links at the end. Since this is primarily a hard copy/paper newsletter, I feel like

adding links does not add much value since they are not a simple click to get to that information.
With regards to adding Frank and Kirstens names, I would actually recommend that we keep it attributed to you. As part of our work to elevate your profile and leadership to the local medical community, I think it is important to have this coming from you. Let me know if you are ok with that.
Finally, as I am working on developing how I write for you, I would love some specific feedback about the writing style. Do you like to be more formal? Do you like more stories, or more research? What is some feedback you have from this draft that I can use for the next thing I write for you?

Here are some dates for you to input into the calendar/work flow chart in the External Comms bucket. These are all pulled directly out of the communication plan, which is attached here. This is basically done, but I assume I'll get final approvals on it at some point from Steve and Anthony. (You can put whatever date you want on it for the chart.)
5/13-5/25: Stakeholder engagement. (This is in the plan, but I can work with you to develop what that looks like and who is involved. 5/16: Publish notices in papers of record and other event calendars. The comms plan is already done (See attached) so it doesn't really matter to me what the date on it is. 5/27: Curtain raiser story. 6/2: Issue press release about successful passing of regulation. (Of course this depends on it passing, but this is when we'd do it if it does. I'll have the release pre-drafted so we can turn it around quickly.) 6/2: Thank you's to BOH members who voted for the regulation. 6/2 (and beyond): Stakeholder engagement about the changes.
I could use your help identifying the stakeholder groups we'll need to work with for this. We'll want both the proponents and the opponents. Can you help with that?
