CSPI responds to White House government shutdown clock

Statement of CSPI Director of Legislative Affairs Philip Kahn-Pauli

CSPI was quite surprised to see our recent statement condemning the current lapse in Congressional appropriations appear on the White House's new "government shutdown clock." Such an inclusion is a clear misattribution of our organization's nonpartisan perspective on the shutdown. As mentioned in our statement, we believe that the longer this shutdown lasts, the further and more significantly it risks impacts to the nation's food system. CSPI has requested that the White House remove our name and statement from their webpage. We do not wish to be included on such a list. So far, they have not responded to our reasonable request.
