Dear Representative Schakowsky:
As a constituent and off-highway vehicle (OHV) enthusiast, I am writing to ask you to urge the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to approve the petition submitted by the Motorcycle Industry Council and Specialty Vehicle Institute of America to exclude youth OHVs from the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) lead content requirements.
The CPSIA passed Congress with broad support last year with the intent to protect children from harmful substances. However, I am concerned about the potential unintended consequences of the legislation.
The unavailability of youth OHVs will devastate family OHV recreation and cripple amateur competition, creating a damaging domino effect across all aspects of motorized recreation.
It is critical that Congress and the CPSC know the petition exists and that they act on it to maintain a vital form of recreation for American families, preserve youth racing and protect the thousands of jobs associated with this industry.
Sincerely,
Craig Gernhardt

do anything else.
If you live in the 9th Congressional District and have not included your address, please do so and I will respond to your concerns. Unfortunately, due to the large amount of correspondence, I can only respond to constituents.
Sincerely,

Don't hold your breath waiting for a response.
I've been after Jan regarding her opinion on the Uptown Update subpoenas (and anything else related to her support for Helen Shiller) and have yet to receive a response.
