The House is expected to start votes on the Farm Bill THIS WEEK!
"Urge your Representative to oppose drastic cuts to hunger programs and to support hungry people, promote stewardship of creation, assist small family farmers, and help rural America thrive!
ACTION: The House is expected to begin votes on the 2013 Farm Bill this week! E-mail or call your Representative and urge him or her to support a fair Farm Bill and related amendments that help feed hungry people at home and abroad, support international development, promote growth in U.S. rural communities, and encourage stewardship of creation. Tell your Representative not to support a Farm Bill that includes over $20 billion in cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and to oppose harmful amendments which cut or restructure critical programs that help people and communities in need."
