Jennifer Fuller for U.S. Senator in Alabama

Tuesday, November 4th, is Election Day. We will be electing a new President and Vice President for our country. As you may or may not know, Alabama’s U.S. Senator for District 6, Spencer Bachus, is also up for re-election.

Up until about a week or so ago, Senator Bachus was unopposed in the race. Not any more. Alabaster resident (and personal friend) Jennifer Fuller has thrown her hat into the ring as a write-in candidate.

While I don’t agree with all of Jennifer’s positions (I have yet to meet anyone that I agree with completely), I support her campaign efforts. One of the reasons I support Jennifer is because she opposes the proposed FDA Globalization Act of 2008.

Jennifer enjoys using natural products, especially handcrafted ones. She also supports the efforts of small businesses, especially local cottage industries such as ours. It didn’t take her long to decide which side she supported as she read about the Act.

I encourage every crafter who makes soap and/or other bath & body products, and who lives in Alabama’s 6th U.S. Congressional District, to support Jennifer’s campaign effort. Spread the word to family, friends, and customers. Remember, if the FDA Globalization Act passes, chances are you will be out of business very quickly, and your customers will be forced to buy mass manufactured products. Electing Jennifer means we will have a friend and supporter in Congress, which is never a bad thing.

You should support Jennifer if:

* You make soap and/or cosmetic products

* You buy handcrafted soap and cosmetic products

* You buy natural (handcrafted or not) personal and skin care products

* You work in a business/industry that falls under FDA regulation/oversight

* You support local artisans and small/cottage businesses

* You’re ready for a change in our federal government
