Ok this is ridiculous
Congress wants to pass a bill making it illegal to resell children’s previously used clothing. They are afraid of lead. But come ON! So, you’re going to put thrift stores out of business, mothers who sell on eBay and craigslist, consignment stores, even prohibit freecyclers???
OK, so homeless kids can’t even get inexpensive clothing anymore. Low income families must resort to buying NEW and NOT cheap clothing? Where are they supposed to get this money from? This is SO incredibly ridiculous. I’m so angry.
Even if you can afford new clothing, what is going to happen to the old clothing? You’re going to fill landfills with them while a child goes freezing in the meantime? This has to be the stupidest thing I’ve heard of all year. I swear, Obama better do something about this or I’m going to be utterly dissapointed. I expect better.
Let your voice be heard. Sign the petition today. http://www.rallycongress.com/make-second-hand-kids-clothes-legal-/1471/view_all/state
