It looks like you are in good company - and all seem to be on the same "side" of the issue.

I'm REALLY sorry. I didn't know that I shouldn't do that.
It's my first time. I never use forums before and I didn't know this rule.

I think you will find that it is not as you have pictured. These things never are.

Keep an open mind, keep the passion in your heart, relax (yeah, right!), think a little before you answer.

We thank you and appreciate your efforts. Hope you can see a little of Washington DC while you are there. A fascinating city! Oh, yeah, if you see President Obama, tell him we all said "hello".

[Former_Member]

Best of luck!!! We'll be anxiously awaiting the outcome!

[Former_Member]

Thank you so much for taking an active role in an issue that ultimately could affect all our futures as artisans, artists and craftspeople.

[Former_Member]

Good luck ladies! I hope you get to testify.

I just remember at the hearing last month that had to do with Global Warming. (Al Gore testified at it.) A respected scientist who had lots of scientific research had opposing view points and research to back up his view was invited to the hearings. After his planned landed and was on his way to congress to testify, he told not to come. They didn't want to hear from someone who disagreed.

I hope this doesn't happen to you!! But I trust these hearings as far as I can throw them...individually :)

[Former_Member]

sorry fo all the typos! My baby is in my lap!

[Former_Member]

Best of luck to all testifing on the behalf of crafters. Also crossing fingers that there is no last minute cancelation of the hearing, again.

[Former_Member]

Good luck, ladies. We are all with you in spirit if not in body. Just tell it like it is. And thank you so much for your efforts.

[Former_Member]

Best of luck to you!

I don't even sell vintage or children's and I think this is absolutely absurd!

[Former_Member]

Good luck to you all!! I really hope some of these grassroots efforts make a difference!
