To: From: Sent: Subject: Jackson, RyanOackson.ryan@epa.gov] Kent Lassman Wed 12/6/2017 1:07:13 PM My Gift to You Dear Ryan, I have an exclusive free offer for you. It's a blueprint for how we can scrap tens of thousands of government regulations that are strangling small businesses--keeping them from creating jobs and growing our economy. But before I give it to you, I want to tell you a little about what the Competitive Enterprise Institute has been doing to make your life easier. I know... you thought we were just another public policy group. We are a policy organization, but we're not just thinking about change, we're making it happen. CEI is litigating and meeting with Congressional and administration officials to make sure that the concepts that we develop to make life better for all Americans actually get implemented. That's what CEI is about. We take big ideas, make them better, make them workable, and make sure they happen. And, right now, we're focused on shrinking the federal regulatory state. I realize that's probably not the first thing you think of when you wake up, unless of course you're a business owner and federal regulations curtail your ability to hire, plan, grow, and serve your customers. The costs of regulations have sky-rocketed and that means employers aren't able to hire the people they need. Regulations eat away at wages and make jobs disappear. In fact, regulations are a bit like spilled sugar. When dumped in the wrong place at the wrong time, they get into every crack and crevice, get sticky, and are almost impossible to eradicate without a lot of time, soap, and water--it requires heroic effort. (Can you tell that my kids are beginning to bake holiday cookies?) As 2017 draws to a close, I want to give you the opportunity to understand more about federal regulations, the harm they cause the average American, and what CEI is doing to stop them for you. Here's your chance to get a free PDF copy of Ten Thousand Commandments: An Annual Snapshot ofthe Federal Regulatory State. Thank you for partnering with CEI to advance the boundaries of freedom. Our victories are your victories. Warmly, Kent 17cv1906 Sierra Club v.
