UPDATE:

The White House decided to give Dudley a recess appointment. Click here to send a message to Congress that this is unacceptable... Congress must start investigations to make sure Dudley isn't putting us all at risk. The air we breathe depends on it!

You Stopped Susan Dudley Last Year- Now Stop the White House
Tell the Bush Administration:
"NO RECESS APPOINTMENT FOR SUSAN DUDLEY"

The nomination of Susan Dudley as administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) died on the Senate vine last year.

What happened?

Thanks to your many emphatic calls and letters, the chair of the committee tasked with approving Dudley's nomination decided it was too controversial to even attempt a vote. It's a victory for our safety and for our democracy.

Faced with defeat, the White House reacted predictably saying it had not given up. In January, the White House made good on the threat by nominating Dudley again.

But it also means a recess appointment could be in the offing.

Tell the Bush Administration, "Do NOT appoint Susan Dudley during recess!"

YOU STOPPED SUSAN DUDLEY
NOW STOP THE WHITE HOUSE
Safety or money in the short-term -- which do you choose?
How much did the November elections change things? Not much for the White House -- which is planning business as usual. If Bush has his way, he'll be dismantling what's left of consumer protections affecting your health and safety.

Keep your dinner table safe from unclean food, Stop the White House from making a recess appointment. The very air we breathe depends on it.

Learn More about the distinction between these two components of Public Citizen.


Public Citizen, Inc. and Public Citizen Foundation

Together, two separate corporate entities called Public Citizen, Inc. and Public Citizen Foundation, Inc., form Public Citizen. Both entities are part of the same overall organization, and this Web site refers to the two organizations collectively as Public Citizen.

Although the work of the two components overlaps, some activities are done by one component and not the other. The primary distinction is with respect to lobbying activity. Public Citizen, Inc., an IRS § 501(c)(4) entity, lobbies Congress to advance Public Citizen’s mission of protecting public health and safety, advancing government transparency, and urging corporate accountability. Public Citizen Foundation, however, is an IRS § 501(c)(3) organization. Accordingly, its ability to engage in lobbying is limited by federal law, but it may receive donations that are tax-deductible by the contributor. Public Citizen Inc. does most of the lobbying activity discussed on the Public Citizen Web site. Public Citizen Foundation performs most of the litigation and education activities discussed on the Web site.

You may make a contribution to Public Citizen, Inc., Public Citizen Foundation, or both. Contributions to both organizations are used to support our public interest work. However, each Public Citizen component will use only the funds contributed directly to it to carry out the activities it conducts as part of Public Citizen’s mission. Only gifts to the Foundation are tax-deductible. Individuals who want to join Public Citizen should make a contribution to Public Citizen, Inc., which will not be tax deductible.
