Deadline: You have until Friday, August 6th to spread the word and write your representative. I’ll draw a name out of the proverbial hat Friday morning. Good luck!
PS – If you’ve been following Elin Criswell’s Kickstarter project – Soapmaking and Beyond – she has 6 hours left to raise $335 and meet her goal to publish a soapmaking book. You can click here to learn more.
I think I missed the deadline but the more tweeting the better.
Tweeted and facebooked..off to write my letter.- sunbasilgarden
I’ve tweeted your link;D
I wrote my congressman with a revised copy of your letter but they have weird email system. Not sure how to share it that way. Will post it on my blog.
I tweeted with your link.

Hi,
I would like to enter the contest (I think it’s not a good act if it does more harm than good, especially to small businisses). But that is not what I wanted to say/ask.
I would like to know if I could enter the contest, because even though I do agree with you and would like to help, I live in Holland so I don’t think there’s much I can do. I could post it to my facebook and (maybe?) sign the petition, but still.
Lots of succes,
Tessel
I “signed” the petition. 🙂 Then I posted my letter to my Rep. on my blog Soapaliciouse.blogspot.com.
I tweeted and added it to my FB page.
Tweet and FB!
I Tweeted and posted on my Facebook. While I understand the perceived benefit of this Act, it’s just not a good idea at all. I hope it helps!
I have Tweeted and Posted a link on my facebook page! I hope people read it, its a great informative article! Great Contest!
Ok, I tried it, I have no idea if it worked, I posted on my regular facebook and my buisness page but it won’t let me edit and add to it. But either way a lot of people will see it and hopefully it will help get the word out. Living in California we see a lot of over-regulation. Small buisinesses barely servive even without the “Safe Cosmetics Act”.
I put it on my Twitter!

You just make the post and then do an @brambleberry at the end of your post and just like on Twitter, it shows up on my wall so I can see your comments =)
That’s awesome but I did it so long ago there is no way to retrieve my letter. Thanks for the offer though.
How do I tag my post with @brambleberry after I put it on my facebook? I’m sorta new to facebook, so I’m sure this is a “duh” question, lol.
I just posted it on my facebook and emailed you a copy of what I wrote to my state representative. :]
Here is the letter I plan on sending: http://opicana.wordpress.com/2…
I also tweeted (Opicana), and posted on FB (Kara Lindelof).
Awesome idea for a contest, and a great prize! I love liquid colors! And who doesn’t want more molds!?!
Thanks!
I tweeted! 🙂
I’ve facebooked your post and posted my name on the petition.
I don’t tweet. 🙂
