Everyone ( in the USA) should check out The Globalization Act of 2008.
If passed, it will put many of us out of business by imposing Large Fees and Red Tape, much like many other countries.
Please write your Senators and Congress-persons and ask them to STOP this Act!For more info and to sign a petition, check out www.indiebeauty.com and click on her "blog".
Thank you.

Thanks for the link and the breakdown of this. It is very urgent that we try to stop this now!

From the FDA Law Blog ():

"Of particular interest in the Discussion Draft is the number of fees proposed. There are fees for registration, reregistration, reinspection, certification, certifying agent accreditation, laboratory accreditation, export certification, and importer registration."

This is on top of the annual registration, inspection and certification fees, not to mention the costs of keeping up with all the paperwork.

If the Act passes as is, it will affect all handcrafters, businesses and hobbyists alike, as well as suppliers.

If you have not already done so, I urge you to visit the Indie Business Blog, watch Donna Maria's video, and sign the petition. You can simply sign your name, city and state, or you can add a comment, along with name, city and state.

I believe Donna Maria is planning on printing out the petition and all comments/signatures to present it on Capital Hill next week. If you want to sign the petition, please do so asap.

Sign the petition at http://tinyurl.com/6dy66s
