Do you make stuff? Do you enjoy buying handmade stuff?
What if you had to stop making handmade item....cause you could not afford to meet with all govt. standards?
I am not going to get on my soap box and rant-n-rave about this (I could go on and on and on)....I will let you read about it. (click image)
This is a big deal right now, and even though we are making gains against the new CPSIA legislation, action must still be taken at every turn. Now is the time to start calling your state senators, the number for the U.S. Senate switchboard is: (202) 224-3121. Tell them what state you are from and that you'd like to speak to one of your senators, and they'll connect you to the appropriate person. Ask them if they support Sen. DeMint's proposal, tell them how this affects you and your business, just keep letting our Senators know that this is a raw deal for a lot of hardworking people. Foolishness and careless legislation in this economy could kill the handmade market, so make your voice heard! Visit Zombie Kitten's link for the real deal info (first post).
