I actually got a decent letter back from Patty Murray on this. Believe me, this issue is the only one that I felt warranted contacting Senator Murray, who I normally would not touch with a 100 meter non-conductive pole. She does not want to see resale stores closed and is in favor of only enforcing the sensible requirements of the new law.

OTOH, I got a stupid form letter back from a Republican Congressman whose name I will not mention; he basically said we need to prevent dangerous lead-contaminated toys from getting into the hands of American children (with which we all agree) but failed to address the used clothes issue at all.

That’s why I stopped writing my congresscritters because I only got back form letters that didn’t address the issue I was asking about in the first place.

They think we are all too stupid to be serious about what concerns us so they answer us with form letters.
