I am c/p ing from another forum. I am very alarmed by this and am hoping that you will sign and pass along to your concerned friends. The government limiting and making this sort of trade unreachable is going to impact local mom and pops, and those who LOVE their products. This is so wrong for free trade. Please read and consider your signature to the petition.
Thank You.

This not only affects bath and body wahms, but those who shop from them. I cannot imagine going without my wahm made soaps.

Call to action for anyone who is or buys from a small bath and body business/WAHM:
Currently, the FDA has proposed legislation called the FDA Globalization Act of 2008. In addition to broad sweeping changes to current food and drug laws, this will also greatly impact small cosmetic businesses (yes this means bath and body WAHMs as well as soap makers). It could mean the end of the majority of bath and body WAHMs who cannot afford to meet compliance by the deadline (fees ranging from $1000 up to $12,000) or switch their entire product line to a private label company.
If you would like to read the latest adaptation of the discussion draft in its entirety, you can find it here in PDF format: http://energycommerce.house.gov/FDAGlobalAct-08/Dingel_60AXML.pdf
Please tell congress that you are against this legislation by signing this petition. The petition is for consumers as well as people in the business. If you would like to sign the petition, simply add a comment at the end of the blog, but be sure to put your full name, city and state in the actual comments section with the phase, "I oppose the FDA Globalization Act of 2008." You can add any other comments as well. http://www.indiebusinessblog.com/indie_business/2008/06/stop-the-fda-gl.html
