“Someone is being paid by China to get this law through.”
My husband said the same thing. Most of the affected ‘bad” toys came from China.
I looked at the legislation sponsored by Bobby Rush D IL and co-sponsorred by 106 others (mostly Dems). This legislation passed the house and senate (many repubs on board) and was signed into law by Pres. Bush! Offenders face stiff monetary penalties and imprisonment.

Do any of the idiots in congress read this crap before they sign it? I’ve been to several crafters’ forums and many are remarking that they are getting conflicting information about this law when they call the offices of their representation in Washington. Gee...what a surprise.
Our Founding Fathers are rolling in their graves. We’ve turned into 16th century England. They should have stopped the imports from China and other such nations, NOT put the regulations on us.
“Do any of the idiots in congress read this crap before they sign it?”
Ummmmmm......no, they don’t.
First you must understand that libralism is a mental disease.
Secondly, one must take a look at what a congresscritter really is. Most are lawyers that could NOT make it in lawyerism, which is the so-called profession of the bottom-dwellers of all evil & corruptness. In order to read, one must be able to read. And they don’t sign because in order to sign, one must be able to write. Mix that with a good dose of liberalism, elitism and a little dash of “know it all” and you get this kind of legislation.
They hire pages and assistants (that they usually have sex with on the side) to do all that hard reading/writing for them. The only time they give a crap about you and what you think is when it comes time for re-election. Then, they outright lie to your face every chance they get to convince you to send em back to do some more of the same crap. Yep, Lawyers that couldn’t make it in lawyerism.
