I am so sorry to post a personal pet-issues diary so soon after registering to the site. But I just learned about this website in the last two weeks at the Netroots Nation Convention in Pittsburgh. What a gem!
Who am I? I am a 32-year-old mother and activist who lives in Berkeley, California. I run a progressive mothering blog called MotherTalkers and I am currently a contractor for the family organization MomsRising.org.
I wouldn't already be bugging you if the issue I was working on did not pertain to California families and was not important. I wanted to let you know that a bill sponsored by Sen. Mark Leno that would help rid certain baby products of toxic flame retardants is about to die a silent death unless we pick up the phone and call our Assemblymembers.
