I wanted to draw your attention to this important petition that I
recently signed:

“Save Handmade Toys in the USA from the CPSIA”
http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/handmadetoys?e

I really think this is an important cause, and I’d like to encourage
you to add your signature, too. It’s free and takes less than a minute
of your time.  (You are not required to make a donation after you submit your signature.)

While this law is a good thing in that it will protect our children from being exposed to lead in toys, it is no doubt going to put small businesses and home based toy makers out of business.
