URGENT, Reject Anti-Environmental Nomination.

[Guest guest]

URGENT , REJECT Bush anti-environmental, pro-industry nominee

John Graham. (possible Deadline July 17 , 2001 )

 

 

LAST CHANCE! Urge your senators to reject Bush nominee John Graham

President Bush's nominee to fill a pivotal administration position has a

long record that's pro-industry and anti-environment, anti-consumer, and

anti-health protection.

 

Senate will likely vote on whether to confirm Bush nominee John Graham

for an obscure but extremely influential government position --

Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA),

within the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). In this role,

Graham would serve as the nation's regulatory gatekeeper, within the

Office of Management and Budget (OMB). In this role, Graham would

serve as the nation's regulatory gatekeeper, passing judgment over all

major national health, safety, and environmental standards.

Over the past decade, Graham has been an ally of the business community

and played a leading role opposing strong government safeguards.

If confirmed, Graham would have the power to accomplish much of his

agenda to roll back vital public health, workplace and environmental

protections.

 

The confirmation vote could happen as early as next Tuesday, July 17.

Please contact Senators and urge them to oppose John Graham's

confirmation!

SAMPLE LETTER :

 

SUBJECT : Please OPPOSE Dr. John Graham nomination as the Administrator

of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs(OIRA)

 

 

Dear Senator,

 

I strongly oppose the nomination of Dr. John D. Graham to direct the

Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs in the Office of Management

and Budget. This position plays an extremely powerful role in

establishing regulatory safeguards for every agency of our government,

and Dr. Graham possesses a consistent anti-regulatory record

of discounting risks of pollutants and applying controversial methods

based on disputable assumptions without fully considering the risks and

benefits to public health and the environment.

 

Furthermore, Dr. Graham's work at the Harvard Center for Risk Analysis

has been funded by major industries who oppose regulations protecting

public health and the environment and who have directly benefited from

Dr. Graham's studies, making it difficult to imagine how Dr. Graham could

effectively fulfill his responsibilities free from conflicts of interests

and with the public view in mind.

 

Again, I urge you to vote 'No' on John Graham's nomination to this

critical administration position.

 

Sincerely,

Your Name,

Your Addres,

City, State, Zip,

U.S. Constituents.
