I respectfully ask my congressional representatives and elected officials to stop trying to destroy the food stamp program. A large sector of the population wants to remove this program, despite the reality that millions of children will go hungry. The crime rate will go up and the number of children removed from their homes will increase as the availability to food decreases among the impoverished. Our priorities must be with our children and families.
Why is this important?
I am starting this petition because I have personally experienced the need for aid and I am deeply offended by the sector of the population who acts as if we are taking food from their mouths all these programs require income to be coming into the home and not everyone on these programs is a drug addict or using it for fraudulent purposes. I also think that just because you are poor doesn't mean you shouldn't have children or necessities like healthy food. I am ashamed of my country because it has come to this. What next, mass genocide of the poor?
