Save Handmade!

[kettunainen]

There's a ridiculously worded act that will soon take effect in the States that will put out of business anyone in the US who makes and sells goods for children: toys, clothing, DIAPERS, jewelry, soap, etc.

This will completely fuck the economy.

They're calling February 10th, 2009 (the day this Act will take effect) National Bankruptcy Day. This is so fucked.
