Subject: You Did It! Baroody Nomination Withdrawn
To:xxxx
> Dear xxxx
>
> Yesterday, President Bush's pick to head the Consumer Product Safety
> Commission withdrew his nomination amid strong opposition from a broad
> coalition of forces, including the defenders of civil justice. Though
> People Over Profits Citizen Activists have earned many hard fought
> victories, this one is particularly sweet.
>
> Michael Baroody is one of Corporate America's leading anti-consumer
> henchmen, and given his track record of lobbying against initiatives
> intended to keep Americans safe, it was difficult to imagine him truly
> advocating for American safety instead of corporate interests. The fox
> would have been guarding the hen house.
>
> People Over Profits Citizen Activists sent more than 12,700 messages
> to United States Senators asking them to oppose Baroody's nomination.
> The public outcry you helped generate postponed Baroody's confirmation
> hearings three times, and finally forced the nominee to withdraw.
>
> This is a great victory for civil justice, and your voice made the difference!

> Sincerely,
