Cruel SNAP requirements should weigh on your conscience

To: Rep. Bacon, Sen. Ricketts, Sen. Fischer

From: A constituent in Papillion, NE

June 30

New SNAP (food stamps) requirements will no longer have exemptions for vets and the homeless. So you’d rather have vets and the homeless starve to death in America? It’ll also require expanding work requirements up to 64 year olds. Because there are a lot of employers looking to hire 60 year olds in the workplace (age discrimination is a real thing). Democrats offered an amendment that would ensure no families with young children get kicked off their food assistance. Republicans voted against it. I am not perfect, but at least I can wake up every day knowing I didn't vote for millions being stripped of health insurance and food assistance. You people are awful.
