Don't Make Cuts to Food Stamps

Tell the House and Senate to vote against cuts to food stamps, that help unemployed families put food on their tables.

Why is this important?

The U.S. House passed a bill to cut food stamps (SNAP) by 144 billion over the next 10 years and make it into a block grant. The Senate is working on the SNAP legislation and asking for a cut of 4 billion. Sixty percent of food stamps feeds children and twenty percent goes to the elderly. Cutting any from food stamps in relation to the federal budget is like asking your child to give up his allowance to help with the mortage.
