Congress: Keep Independent Federal Agencies Independent
After the election, the Senate will likely take up misguided legislation that would give the White House more control over certain federal agencies that protect our health and safety—such as the Consumer Product Safety Commission and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
The bill would make it more difficult for these agencies to use the latest science to protect the public from emerging threats—and make it easier for the White House to interfere in the work of these critical independent agencies. As a result, special interests with deep pockets would have even more influence in Washington.
Don’t let the lame duck Congress pass this terrible legislation.
Urge your senators today to strongly oppose the so-called Independent Agency Regulatory Analysis Act.
Sincerely,
