Why isn't everyone writing their state rep about

this...

I am not a member of the network and no one should be

standing idly by...

if you goto the capitol hill website you can get your

state's email and USPS address and write a letter of

concern and fight this.

Donna has a letter there that you can copy the body and then send it off to

your congressman.

If you make soap and you want to continue to make soap then all the 4,000

members of bath and body group need to flood capital hill.

We need to start throwing some of OUR weight around.

I have a question~

Do they regulate farmers at farmers markets like this? I understand why

they want to do it~ but to me and I could be wrong (I was once before) it

seems like they're trying to take choice away from consumers. Like they

decide what it good for us and what's not? Are they also going to tell us

what preservative we have to use later on? How far will this go? That is

the scary part ~This just doesn't make sense to me~

Sindy

maybe someone needs to splain it to me in plain English ~ It seems we're

just trying to get big government in bed with us~ like we're not intelligent

enough to make our own choices or decisions. This is unbelievable~

well I don't think soap has anything to do with this -

soap is not a cosmetic - but

everything else we make will be affected.

here in canada, the ministry of heallth describes cosmetics as " any substance or

preparation used on the skin or body for esthetic or maintenance purposes " ..

since soap is used on the skin, and cleansing is considered maintenance, soap is

in fact a cosmetic (at least by canadian and many european laws)

we have a similar policy in place here in canada that mirrors the aims of the

FDA globalization Act and really, it's not that bad.

I'm going to chime in here - because the THEY are trying to do the same

thing to use herbalists - we are not allowed to " prescribe " herbs to help

people and any herb that is recommended or suggested will soon be governed

by the AMA - now, how stupid is that!? You KNOW that physicians are in the

pocket of the drug companies, so no one is going to allow herbalists to tell

client/patients that " if you eat this dandelion leaf that is growing freely

in your backyard, you'll be relieved of this, that and the other malady that

you've been complaining about without buying any drugs or visiting with any

doctor " - even though it's been done for hundreds of years. We'll all be

forced to go underground!!

OK, off my soapbox now :-)

DEAR GROUP,

Why dont we get an organized group petition and send it in (someone

said we are 4000 strong). I dont really know how to do this so we can

all be under one petition then send to: virgil.miller@...

Here is the petition from:

http://www.indiebusinessblog.com/indie_business/2008/06/stop-the-fda-gl.html?cid\

=120730550#comment-120730550

Petition

We are the owners of small cosmetics companies, and the customers who

love their products.

We understand that laws must be in place to protect everyone from

unsafe products, but we are outraged by the Draft Legislation that

would require small cosmetics companies to pay thousands of dollars a

year in registration fees and comply with burdensome paperwork that

would serve only to put them out of business.

If passed the legislation would deny thousands of families the ability

to earn an honest living, and also deprive consumers of the variety of

cosmetics and personal care products available to choose from.

We oppose this law and condemn any companies that support it as being

interested only in creating an unlevel playing field where small and

family owned businesses will be forced from the marketplace before

they even get a chance to start out.

We urge you, as our representatives in Congress, to stop this law

which would serve only to make it even harder for families to support

themselves. We call instead for a real and meaningful discussion about

how Congressional goals can be accomplished without enacting unfair

laws that make it impossible for small businesses to survive.

In signing this Petition, we formally request that the Discussion

Draft of the FDA Globalization Act of 2008 be marked up so that the

legitimate concerns of small businesses and the consumers they serve

can be translated into reasonable laws that protect consumers without

also killing small businesses by making them pay unfair fees and

comply with burdensome paperwork.

We sincerely thank you for your time.

Maybe someone has access to a webpage that when signed the information

will stay on the site. Let me ask my web guy. If we can just spread

one link, that everyone can sign, then the link owner can email the

signatures to the above email address. Any ideas??? We do ned to stick

together on this issue. This is absurd and just another example of

America trying yet again to snuff out the small business owner. Lets

work together on this!!!!

Have a great day,

R. Lorenti Jr.

No one has an extra couple grand laying around but here's how the transition

worked for us...

we are registered and pay our fees for that..

we create our products and send an itemized declared inci listing and

manufacturer report to the ministry of health for review and approval for each

item we intend to make available for sale...

we are subject to in home inspections without notice, everything is closely

monitored.

Now the drawbacks are obvious, and I was not pleased when they changed all these

laws in the beginning, but here is what I noticed... it seems the only ones who

didn't continue their business were not those in financial duress, but rather

those that were using inferior products or mislabelling, allowing those who

registered more customers. As well, we were able to charge a bit more, as

consumers understood this was a product that was endorsed by the government, and

therefore completely safe for them to use, free of restricted chemicals, and

bearing no false advertising or misleading advertising claims (we have an

acceptable list of claims and may not state anything in our ads or literature

that promote our products as drugs or therapeutic aids, else we must also

register as with the food and drug admin)... We make more money now, much more

in the end... and because people can buy with confidence, I'm seeing more and m

ore people, from all different demographics, trying out handmade products since

now they have some semblance of security in doing so.

I didn't think it would, but in truth.. its helped us.

<we have a similar policy in place here in canada that mirrors the

aims <of the FDA globalization Act and really, it's not that bad.

Not that bad???!!!! A couple thousand dollars a year IS a BAD thing to

me! This is my first year in business. I don't want it to be my last.

It's bad enough we have to pay $400-$500 a year in insurance to

protect ourselves!!

<doctor " - even though it's been done for hundreds of years. We'll all

<be forced to go underground! !

And the witch hunts will begin... 8-(

I signed the petition & am copying it to my state senator.

One can tell from 10 Miles away that the Bigger Companies are in

colusion pushing this barrow. If this act does get passed into law then

the small operators have some comeback. It would come down to

Interstate groups or franchises pushing a common product and splitting

the fee's costs and profits. Instead of a one or two person show how

about 50 people in various states acting as as a co-op. This would be

far more damaging to the big companies as the groups would be able to

have fantastic market penetration by directly targeting the big

Companies customers across the whole retail spectrum.

If only this was an easy thing to arrange, it would be one sure way of

having this cripple legislation blow up in the instigators face.
