----- Original Message ----- From: Gene Karpinski, U.S. PIRG Executive Director To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 16, 2004 4:23 PM Subject: U.S. PIRG : keep special interest lobbyists out of the Cabinet
Dear U.S. PIRG supporter, Since the election, Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman, Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham and Commerce Secretary Don Evans have announced their resignations from President Bush's cabinet. President Bush's new appointments will be responsible for protecting our national forests, managing our energy supply, and overseeing the recovery of our oceans. Please help us shape President Bush's cabinet. To make sure the best and most publicly-accountable candidates make their way into the Cabinet, we're calling on the President to nominate - and the Senate to approve - candidates for these seats with a history of public service, who are free from ties with the corporations they will be responsible for regulating. To take action, click on this link or paste it into your web browser: http://www.pirg.org/alerts/route.asp?id=16&id4=ES Then, ask your family and friends to take action as well by forwarding this email to them. Background We will count on future cabinet members to: * Agriculture: lead a forest service dedicated to protecting and preserving our national forests, including upholding the historic Roadless Area Conservation Rule, which protect 58.5 million acres of our last pristine national forests. * Energy: promote and implement energy policy that uses more clean, renewable energy and emphasizes energy conservation, leading the country away from it's dependence on fossil fuels and nuclear energy. * Commerce: oversee management of our oceans, including establishing standards that ensure that ocean fish and wildlife populations recover from years of over-fishing. Tell President Bush and your senators to keep special-interest lobbyists out of the Cabinet. Then, ask your family and friends to take action as well by forwarding this email to them.
