House Republicans Push Through Farm Bill, Without Food Stamps
Taking the food out of the mouths of children is immoral and evil. You know this. There are some things that you should never, never do. You shouldn’t kill anyone, you shouldn’t steal from anyone, and you should never send a child to bed hungry, no matter what you think of their parents. In this country, we pay farmers to not grow crops in order to support prices. We have an abundance of food. We eat too much. It is disgusting that Republicans would deny food to anyone.
These representatives are YOUR fruit. YOU voted for them.

BTW, I donate $25/month to Feeding America. I don’t have a lot of money for charities so I had to pick one that had the most impact for good. It’s not a lot of money but I never forget that there are families out there who can’t afford good, nourishing food, even with food stamps. Consider making a donation.
Friday Fast tomorrow. Give up your lunch money for someone who needs it to feed their kids.

I am SHOCKED that they did this. Bad enough that the Senate cut $400 million from Food Stamps. This is outrageous!
Are you ready for a Friday Fast tomorrow? Maybe we can call on the blogosphere to participate.
Are you saying I must skip lunch? … EVERY Friday? I’m sure it’s a good idea but, IS that what you mean.
Not even a ham sandwich?
let’s just do one friday at a time
(deep breath) OK. Ok! I’m in! I do think it’s a good idea.
Riverdaughter, you words hit home. I’m in.
