I called Congressman Bobby Scott's Richmond office to set up a meeting (with an aide, the Congressman is in DC). I am waiting to hear from the scheduler about day and time.
I would like to present the stories of as many local businesses and parents as possible. I want any and all Virginia crafters, but if you live in Richmond, Norfolk, Hampton, Newport News, Charles City, Henrico County, Surry County, New Kent County, or Prince George County your info will carry a lot more weight.
Please email me with your name, business name, etsy store/website and a short blurb about what you make and how the CPSIA will affect you financially. If you have a clear, print-quality photo of your products, attach it, that will save me some time.
If you are a Richmonder and would like to send an example of your product, let me know and we can figure out a time for you to drop it off.
My email is beeskneesstudio@gmail.com
