'We cannot allow policy that harms regular people, threatens our rights, hurts the environment and does any number of other terrible things to ride along with the appropriations package,' says Public_Citizen's Lisa Gilbert in response to GOP poison pills.
"We cannot allow policy that harms regular people, threatens our rights, hurts the environment, and does any number of other terrible things to ride along with the appropriations package," said Public Citizen's Lisa Gilbert.A coalition of advocacy groups on Monday sounded the alarm on the more than 200 so-called"poison pill" riders attached by Republican U.S.
"Prior to the July 4th recess, it took two months for House Republican appropriators to add more than 100 new poison pills to draft spending bills marked up in committee," the coalition noted."In the past week alone, the previous total has doubled to more than 217." "Most of these measures are special favors for big corporations and ideological extremists that have nothing to do with funding our government and could not become law on their own merits," the groups added."Some of them attack women's health, some fuel political corruption, some harm our environment, and much more.
"The sheer volume of dangerous riders being included in these draft bills is an overreach and an emergency," Lisa Gilbert, executive vice president of the consumer advocacy group
