I posted an updated story. Once word got out, the perverbial shit hit the fan and everyone backed down. Boozman was going to sneak the amendment into the bill last night and have the vote today. Most voting on it may not have even known it was there. At least there is one thing Walmart won't be able to buy from China... that's Congress members and Senators. Nope you can only buy those here in the good old USofA.... When I was posting that I thought guys like you and Mike Babcock would find it interesting. I posted an updated story.

I seriously doubt that this idea will fly. It just can't. The safety advocacy groups will be all over this is quite short order. As if Wal-Mart needed another publicity black-eye. I'm glad that a Kohl's has just opened here. I've also called our Congressmans' and Senators' offices and raised cane (It figures, one of them hasn't heard anything about it, assuming they are telling the truth) Geri O I agree, what a terrible idea.
