With an eye on the elections on November 8, Altria's tobacco operating companies today launched a non-partisan voter education and awareness campaign for their adult tobacco consumers in Virginia. "Philip Morris USA, U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Company and John Middleton Company will each be reaching out to their adult consumers stressing the importance of voting and encouraging them to make their voices heard on November 8th," Altria said in a note posted on its website. "These efforts are designed to help adult consumers register to vote and participate in the fall elections." "Adult consumers can go to www.tobaccoissues.com/voteVA, which includes user-friendly information about the Commonwealth's voter registration process, polling locations, and candidates for state and federal offices."
