Help Block Animal Rightist Regulatory Czar
8/31/09
President Obama’s choice for a powerful regulatory position in the White House is a rabid supporter of animal rights. Your support is needed to block him from being in a position to harm America’s sportsmen.
Cass Sunstein, the president’s pick to head the powerful Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), has been an advocate for the animal rights movement and is an anti-hunter. As a part of the federal budget office, OIRA has extensive authority to block rules, including those that protect hunting and conservation. Sunstein claims that, “we might ban hunting altogether, at least if it’s sole purpose is human recreation.” He also supports allowing lawsuits on behalf of animals, a right currently only extended to human beings. Views such as this raise serious concern about the agenda Sunstein will carry with him into this position if he is confirmed by the Senate. This is why it is crucial that your two US Senators vote NOT to confirm Cass Sunstein as the head of the OIRA. If calling your Senator’s office, click here for talking points.
