Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008


The internet is abuzz with the news. On February 10, 2009 most small businesses, stay-at-home-moms, and grandpas who sell hand-made toys or home-sewn children's clothing will be out of business. Unless there is a change to this new law, safety certification requirements will force them to shut down. I know Congress passed this law to protect children, but when you mix in their hatred of freedom and their sheer stupidity, the end result looks to be worse than the original problem.

Here are a couple of sites that tell you how you can help. The first one is regarding homemade children's clothing, and the second one for handmade toys.

I know there have been attacks on our freedom for a long time now, but somehow this one just makes me feel panicky. May the Lord have mercy on us as the walls close in.
