An Open Letter

I am your constituent and I see that the House version of the Farm Bill has $30 billion in cuts to nutrition assistance (SNAP) over the next decade. Do you know how many people rely on nutritional assistance? 12.5% of us. 42,000,000 of us every month and a large number of them are children. And if that weren’t bad enough there are 5,000,000 elderly that qualify for SNAP but aren’t getting benefits. There are a few things I want from you. Recognize that we have a poverty problem in this country - 42,000,000 don’t have enough money for food. Encourage seniors to get the food assistance they need. Be creative - make applying easier, advertise, get it on the news - do something. DO NOT IMPLEMENT ANY CUTS TO SNAP IN THE FARM BILL. Thank you.
