Nations and independent organizations have medals that they award to individuals for valor and heroic contributions worthy of recognition. I suggest the toy industry, or perhaps more broadly the children's product industry group, award the first Industry Medal of Honor to Mr. Rick Woldenberg, Chairman of Learning Resources, for his work on behalf of the industry.  

 

 

            

Rick has worked tirelessly on all of our behalf to lead efforts to ameliorate the negative and potentially catastrophic effects of the ill-conceived CPSIA legislation that has threatened the viability of toy companies, makers of ATVs, thrift stores, and children's clothing makers, and in no way improves the safety and well-being of children. Hundreds of millions of dollars have already been lost by several affected industries. I could go on and on, but much has been written elsewhere on the damage and costs of this knee jerk legislation.  

            

Mr. Woldenberg spoke to Congress recently advocating rational, thoughtful legislation that does in fact ensure child safety and well-being. I hope his logic and reason are heard, understood, and acted upon by our government, for the benefit of all.
