Sustain Meals On Wheels Programs
Dear STATE REPRESENTATIVE, Mr. President,
Thousands of elderly Americans are counting on you to do the right thing. Sequestration has slashed millions of dollars in funding to Meals on Wheels organizations across the country and as a result scores of frail, homebound senior citizens are being denied home-delivered meals. In many cases, those healthy lunches were the only nutritious food an older adult might eat all day.
Regardless of one's political beliefs, denying life-sustaining services to the elderly, many of whom are military veterans, is wrong. Providing nutritious meals to older adults who are at-risk of being malnourished should be a top priority.
I urge you to vote to restore federal funding for Meals on Wheels organizations. It’s simply the right thing to do.
Sincerely,

Why is this important?
Money for Meals On Wheels programs are being slashed in favor of other programs like war in Afghanistan, CIA, NSA, new weapons platforms, even the Fourth of July celebration in Washington! Where is the sense of the leadership in this country? Make the feeding of this country's people priority!
