Most people running these businesses have kids of their own!Monkeyvillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04482570179806131585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6288804725912432168.post-79315038593134632392009-04-25T20:46:00.000-07:002009-04-25T20:46:00.000-07:00Holy shit.

I was up for some buying for my brothers new baby too as soon as I got a new job! Chica, I'm so sorry! Yeah, we gotta fight this. I dun care if its shut down. People can continue to fight til they fix it. Businesses like yours are the reason this country lives. I mean everyone started small like this then it grew and flourished unbelievably. Our country is grown on small business! We've gotten some good companies out of it! They keep saying jobs are dying we must do something! Doing this kills more jobs and makes us worse. I mean I saw the low job industry as an opportunity to create more jobs with a small business....but damn I didn't know they started doing this!! Hell on them. We'll just beat them southern style. I got rope and they got toes!<br /><br />Imma go calm down....this is so stupid of them.Janayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10790180313341594299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6288804725912432168.post-87268957618326897192009-01-14T01:07:00.000-08:002009-01-14T01:07:00.000-08:00Great post!!

The cost to join depends on how many participants are involved but the lead petitioner is hoping it may cost each claimant $100-$200. This is not much compared to the cost of testing each of your products.<BR/><BR/>Contact me or the lead petitioner (info below) with your email and I will forward the info and form to fill out for interested parties. There is no obligation to submit the form, they just need a count of how many are interested.<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/>Holli Grubb<BR/>hgrubb@hairsprouts.com<BR/>http://www.hairsprouts.com<BR/><BR/><BR/>====================<BR/><BR/>Moms ban together to save their businesses.<BR/><BR/>====================<BR/><BR/>Moms ban together to save their businesses. Rachele Dressler-Sweetser is a mother of 3 and owns Monkey Baby, a creative children’s clothing line. This business is not only her additional “baby” but her main source of income. She created Monkey Baby out of necessity. As a single mother she was faced with the issue of a sick child with medical needs that could not be left alone. She combined her creative sewing skills and marketing knowledge to create a fun and successful children’s clothing line. Waking up to a new year she is faced with her legs being knocked out from under her with this quiet law going into effect with huge consequences.<BR/><BR/>The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) is requiring lead testing on all products (including apparel) designed for children under the age of 12. This new Act is unconstitutionally overbroad and vague, and disregards the significant and disastrous impact on small and medium businesses.<BR/><BR/>Dressler-Sweetser says “I have built this business out of love for my children and my God-given talents. It is my dream, livelihood and my future. I can’t sit still. I understand the need to keep our children safe but this law is too broad. It is not in anyone’s interest as it is currently written.” Dressler-Sweetser has contacted the Kushner Law Firm to begin the process of a Class Action Suit to prevent the law’s enforcement of the February 10, 2009 deadline. She is actively contacting businesses owners that this law will effect to ban with her in preventing its enforcement on February 10, 2009.<BR/><BR/>The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) is requiring lead testing on all products (including apparel and components of apparel which knowingly have little or no lead such as ribbon, tulle, thread, elastic etc.) designed for children under the age of 12. “This new Act is unconstitutionally overbroad and vague, and disregards the significant and disastrous impact on small and medium businesses as Section 605 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act requires” says Michael Kushner, of The Kushner Law Firm.<BR/><BR/>Immediate action is required in order to save many businesses and to keep costs from skyrocketing for children’s toys, accessories and clothing.<BR/><BR/>Contact:<BR/><BR/>Rachele Dressler-Sweetser<BR/>www.monkeybabyclothes.com<BR/>Ph. 949.916.9288 Fx. 949.916.9087Holli Grubbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07208328409949435311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6288804725912432168.post-87959145152237865492009-01-13T14:36:00.000-08:002009-01-13T14:36:00.000-08:00your links all take me to the same page.thanks, bl...your links all take me to the same page.<BR/><BR/>thanks, blogging about it now, and will send to my town blog. including a link here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6288804725912432168.post-18338816663972643692009-01-12T21:25:00.000-08:002009-01-12T21:25:00.000-08:00sorry about that. i bet you will open up againsorry about that. i bet you will open up againKim Carohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10704606305499397552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6288804725912432168.post-48717738551347265632009-01-12T14:36:00.000-08:002009-01-12T14:36:00.000-08:00This is outrageous!

Because of this CPSIA law, I will be forced to close it - apparently shoes ARE part of the regulations. All the joy and the rewards that I get day by day like being on someone else’s blog, or receiving a nice comment about my products, will be also taken away.<BR/><BR/>There is not a single news channel looking at this issue, not a single newspaper either, and it is getting scary.<BR/><BR/>Many thanks again,<BR/><BR/>Maria.<BR/>www.barretzz.etsy.comBarr-etzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02585043803655102262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6288804725912432168.post-52920452188934934302009-01-12T12:17:00.000-08:002009-01-12T12:17:00.000-08:00Thank you Kathleen and I am checking out all of th...Thank you Kathleen and I am checking out all of the links.

However, there is more. May I also suggest visiting the War Room for up to the minute updates and focused activism? http://bit.ly/3SFN. There's also the automated mailer to email legislators in one fell swoop. http://tinyurl.com/5hloos. Lastly, we are asking people to fill out the Economic Impact Survey http://bit.ly/Cdwv. The latter link also includes every CPSIA entry published on Fashion-Incubator.com. Btw, it was members of fashion-incubator (long forgotten now) who were instrumental in getting the word out on Etsy. In truth, in the beginning, reaction there was very apathetic. Look at the oldest threads on cpsia there. You'll see we had to slog it for months before anyone paid attention.Kathleen Fasanellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14971193005177565315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6288804725912432168.post-26399335612646909682009-01-12T08:54:00.000-08:002009-01-12T08:54:00.000-08:00Thank you both for taking the time to read the blo...Thank you both for taking the time to read the blog.
