Update on CPSIA

Well, it appears that there is only one man that can actually Save Handmade products! His name is Henry Waxman and he is the Chairman for the Committee on Energy and Commerce. This is the committee that is in charge of the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Only he can pass an exemption before the new law goes into effect, on Feb 10th. His committee members are feeling the pressure from many artists and small businesses and are urging him to call a meeting to review this law. Here is a copy of the letter they sent to Waxman:
