Dudley Hearing Scheduled for Nov. 13
The Homeland Security and Goverment Affairs Committee will hold a hearing on the White House's nomination of Susan Dudley to head the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs on Nov. 13. During her time as head of regulatory policy for the Mercatus Center, Dudley racked up a pretty extensive anti-regulatory record, opposing regulations to get arsenic out of drinking water, reduce smog levels and make cars more fuel efficient.

You can help oppose the nomination of Susan Dudley by contacting your senators! Contact them today and tell them you oppose the nomination of Susan Dudley and they should too.

Find out more about how Susan Dudley could wreak havoc on the public protections you care about by reading our report, The Cost is Too High. You can also stay on top of the latest news on the nomination by visiting the DudleyWatch section of our website.

Stop Susan Dudley Now!
The Bush administration is on the attack -- again. This time, it's with the nomination of Susan Dudley as administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA). OIRA is an important regulatory agency that reviews everything from auto safety standards to limits on industrial chemicals and air and water pollutants.

Susan Dudley would cripple OIRA. As director of regulatory studies at the industry-funded Mercatus Center, she opposed countless environmental, health and safety rules, including:

  • EPA's attempts to keep arsenic out of drinking water and lower levels of disease-causing smog;
  • NHTSA's life-saving air bag regulations and the Department of Transportation?s hours-of-service rules to keep sleep-deprived truck drivers off the roads; and
  • energy regulation, the roll-back of which has led to skyrocketing prices.

Write your Representative and stop Susan Dudley now!
