Make a Difference with Simply Two Correspondences a Day

Leading up to the rally, you can make a difference by making simply two correspondences a day. Pick from any of the list of our recommendations:
- Call your Senator or your Representative to request these two things:
- Attendance at the rally & briefing
- Support for one of the amendment bills or ask that a new bill is created to amend this law.
- Call a member of the one of the committees ruling on these bills
- Committee info to follow
- Request local media coverage
- Write a letter to the editor of your local paper
- Use an email form to request coverage in the local paper
- Ask if you can write an article for your child’s school newsletter or paper.
- Contact a local and applicable trade periodical to ask them to cover the rally.
- Write a message to your favorite bloggers and ask for a CPSIA-rally blog post.
- Tell them why amending this law means so much to you and tie it into something they blog about regularly.
- Give them suggestions based on their content on how they might talk about how this law affects the blogger’s readers.
- Ask them to blog on April 1st (aka April Fool’s day) in support of the rally. “This Amend CPSIA rally is no joke!”
- Contact fairs and festivals as well as church/school groups that have craft fairs.
- Explain the effects of this law on their sales. They would be breaking the law by making a baby blanket or knitting a hat that they plan to sell at any craft fair.
- Point them to your favorite CPSIA educational posts.
- Point them to this website and tell them about the rally.
- Ask them to inform their friends and family.
- Ask them to make a difference with simply two correspondences a day.
- Contact your local schools to let them know of the impact to their school books and supplies.
- Remind them that books, backpacks, notebooks, and pens all far under this law.
- Provide them with the information about how this law affects them.
By simply contacting two people or organizations, you can make a difference! It is through all of our efforts, that will affect change.
We have made it this far through our grassroots efforts and we will continue to make by letting those affected know about how we hope to change this law.
Jolie, Thank you for giving some simple constructive ideas on what people can do to build the momentum! I just added this website to my LinkedIn CPSIA group, and also thought about the holiday craft fairs I’ve participated in at elementary schools which sell products also affected. I can only imagine the children’s faces when they are told they can’t make crafts to sell, or buy any.
The extent of impact is so far and wide, it seems there is a new segment affected every time I turn around. I’m so glad to see and share the positive energy turned into progress in this movement. There are so many people contributing, it’s truly (in Rick’s own words) an example of the democratic process.
