Save Mermapillar!!!!

One of my most favored Minneapolis based companies Mermapillar could be nothing more than a memory if  a new bill is passed that basically requires all children’s clothing to be approved by a third party before it can be sold.  I understand this rational on children’s toys most certainly, and also can support having nothing short of the very best for our nations children BUT, when it comes to small business and even more importantly all ORGANIC, ECO-FRIENDLY small businesses I think there should be an exception.

Here is the email I got from Miss Alice co-owner and creator of Mermapillar, Peep: mermapillar.com. Please click the link below to help support small business that create cutesy organic clothing for children using only the best materials.

I’m not sure if you’ve heard, but there’s a movement of citizens inspired by the presidential campaign who are now submitting ideas for how they think the Obama Administration should change America.  It’s called “Ideas for Change in America.”

One idea is titled: Save Handmade Toys From the CPSIA. I thought you might be interested in getting involved and recommend you check it out.  You can read more and vote for the idea by clicking the following link:

The top 10 ideas are going to be presented to the Obama Administration on Inauguration Day and will be supported by a national lobbying campaign run by Change.org, MySpace, and more than a dozen leading nonprofits after the Inauguration.  So each idea has a real chance at becoming policy.
