Help Block Animal Rightist Regulatory Czar

[LaBow]

Senator John Cornyn (R- TX) has blocked President Obama’s choice for a powerful regulatory position in the White House because of the nominee’s support for animal rights. He’s done his part, now sportsmen need to do theirs. Your support is needed to make sure the block, known technically as a “hold,” stays in place.
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.
That is why it is crucial that the block remains in place.
Take Action! Sportsmen nationwide should contact their U.S. senators and ask them to support Sen. Cornyn’s hold on Sunstein. Let them know that you are deeply concerned by Sunstein’s radical statements about hunting and animal rights. Ask your Senator to join Senator Cornyn by blocking this appointment.

Is this seriously what this country is coming to??? I can see the headlines now..."Llama spit on man, man curses, llama hires lawyer and files lawsuit". All these "animal activists" really need to get lives and leave us sportsmen and sportswomen alone. Don't make other people's lives a living hell just because you don't believe in something they do. There are alot of things I don't agree with but I don't go parading around town holding rallies and going on tv shows. These people obviously have too much time on their hands, maybe they should think about getting jobs like the rest of us.....o but wait, then they couldn't get their free phones from OneBigAzzMistakeAmerica

Don't worry, our side has already decided to confirm this WINGNUT so all this is pointless. Gotta remember that there is a ton of behind the scenes
deals made between the parties, UNFORTUNATELY!
