This is yet one more "unintended consequence" that deeply disturbs me. For a list of sites / blogs fighting CPSIA (that will help you get up-to-speed quickly and get involved), please visit the blogs of Whimsical Walney and Polkadot Patch (just google them!). Also, my blog features some of the deeper reasons ALL CITIZENS and PARENTS should be getting involved in protest of CPSIA legislation. I encourage folks to stop by here, as well. http://www.tristansepinion.blogspot.com (the current post is funny but the previous several are a real call to action - much more serious stuff). I will put a link to this story up - very important to raise awareness on behalf of those who deserve not to be faced woth yet one more obstacle...
