Re: READ THIS...we should have thought of this before!!!

Great idea! I'd totally do it, but my congressman is a freshman this year, and has been working against CPSIA! I'd love to take out Sen. Specter though... :D

Jon Kyle, our one of our congressmen from Arizona voted against the CPSIA law to begin with. He was one of very few. Great idea.

First:

Dec 19, 2007: This bill passed in the House of Representatives by roll call vote. The vote was held under a suspension of the rules to cut debate short and pass the bill, needing a two-thirds majority. This usually occurs for non-controversial legislation.

The totals were 407 Ayes, 0 Nays, 25 Present/Not Voting


Mar 6, 2008: This bill passed in the Senate by roll call vote.

The totals were 79 Ayes, 13 Nays, 8 Present/Not Voting.

Jul 31, 2008: After passing both the Senate and House, a conference committee is created to work out differences between the Senate and House versions of the bill. A conference report resolving those differences passed in the Senate, paving the way for enactment of the bill, by roll call vote.

The totals were 89 Ayes, 3 Nays, 8 Present/Not Voting.
