They invited him to speak at hearings. They appeared to listen to his testimony. Then they blundered on as if he wasn't there.<br /><br />Instead of looking like an intelligent body of legislators, Congress looked like an out of control oil tanker on a collision course with the docks.<br /><br />The very legislators that I have voted for in the past helped set this ill fated tanker on it's course. Since then they have been deaf, dumb, and blind in the face of Rick's and others very cogent arguments that the course may not be correct.<br /><br />I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR THEM AGAIN.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811142208729284263.post-71677167190221605082011-11-25T15:39:35.151-06:002011-11-25T15:39:35.151-06:00Rick, Thank you for your tireless work on this iss...Rick, Thank you for your tireless work on this issue. You did work that many of us couldn't do - representing so many of us who wanted and needed a common sense approach to safety. I too stopped bugging my representatives as they had no interest in helping right a serious wrong. Instead, I am working to vote for the people who will stand for good common sense and praying that the tyrants in office are thrown out.E Melanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07954364009385391625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811142208729284263.post-43030664218275960802011-09-28T13:23:34.357-05:002011-09-28T13:23:34.357-05:00As I'm watching the Commission webcast on comp...As I'm watching the Commission webcast on component testing and certification, I realize how much I miss Rick's "cynical special interest" comments and analysis.Lorinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811142208729284263.post-11474767665265123802011-09-05T08:08:01.573-05:002011-09-05T08:08:01.573-05:00Rick, we in the resale industry, and we who could ...Rick, we in the resale industry, and we who could not get over the stupidity of this law, salute you for your hard work, deep research, and unbiased eye on reality.

Altho...Rick,thank you for everything you have done. Although I am part of one of the 'saved' groups (resale) this 'relief' comes far too late to help me. After coming perilously close to bankruptcy, I managed to get out of my lease and close down my resale operations with a shred of money and a mountain of debt. So the only relief I will now enjoy is knowing I don't have the burdens of being a business owner since I have had to rejoin the ranks of the employed to begin the long paydown of my debt. The CPSC and their fearmonging friends successfully scared off many of my former resale customers. So I can only sigh and work for governmental change in an incremental way and hope that companies such as yours can find a way to survive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811142208729284263.post-51992941368382781262011-08-20T22:00:00.394-05:002011-08-20T22:00:00.394-05:00Thank you CPSIA!

You and I are on different side of the political fence and I didn't always agree with some of your political swipes (though some were admittedly well-deserved), but I always thought that your product safety analyses and focus on risk-based approaches were well thought out and supported by facts. That is the way it supposed to work. We can disagree on our views, but facts are what bring us together in order to make the best decisions we can for all interests. I agree that this HR 2715 is a joke. You will guess correctly that I am not in the business of ATVs, books, resale or bicycles. I will miss your blog, but I am not surprised at your decision. You have carried the weight for all of us for a long time and deserve the break to get back to your life and your business.

From your effort, we have learnt, witnessed, and experienced clearly how we are being insufferably played by our Congressmen, our Senators, and our President for nothing. Obama is likely to throw the QE3 six months before the election for another four years. I think there is very little we can do about that. But no matter what, for all coming elections, I won’t let my representatives forget about the CPSIA, and I will share the CPSIA experience and your blog with all my friends and families, for them to take their votings very seriously.Paulnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811142208729284263.post-68197231841131288662011-08-13T05:34:35.843-05:002011-08-13T05:34:35.843-05:00Atlas has finally shrugged!!!!
