This is the list of committee members. Odds are roughly 1 in 12 that your representative is a member of this committee. With those odds, and given that a phone call in this era of deregulation is cheap, why not read the list? If you're lucky enough to have a congressperson on the list, pick up the phone to advise your representative of your opinion, pro or con, on CPSIA and this hearing? Be polite and informed. You can be informed just by reading other CPSIA entries on this blog. My congressman is a useless loser who knows (I call and write him often) that I'm voting against him in November, but if he sat on this committee I'd offer him the opportunity to change my opinion.
