Hi Everyone:

Yes, I do want to shake up all the small business owners

here who toil

on a daily basis to build up their artisan toiletries or herbal

business. I posted about Global Harmonization here on May

1st - no

response. I was invited to be part of a Coalition that's

forming to

fight this, and I am responsible for being tardy in getting

back to

everyone here. There is a petition and it needs YOUR

signature - TODAY.

Here's the scoop:

Please read the Guild blog entry and then go to Donna

's website

to sign the petition. Time is of the essence in signing the

petition:
