Call your Congressman about the US FARM BILL

The House is dangerously close to passing a bill that's almost identical to the current unfair Farm Bill -- the one that's been paying subsidies to millionaires and dead people instead of local farmers.

Support for farmers transitioning to organics and working family farmers. Healthier school lunches. More funds to feed hungry children and seniors. Protection of water and wildlife. The 2007 Farm Bill could do it all, but time is running out for reform.

I just joined the Environmental Working Group Action Fund's campaign for a fair Farm Bill by calling my Representative and asking them to support the Fairness in Farm and Food Policy Amendment. Call your Representative today and ask them to support it, too!

The "Fairness Amendment," offered by a bipartisan group of legislators, will put America on a new course for family farm and food policy.

It will provide a more reliable safety net for America's organic and family farmers at less cost to taxpayers and provide new resources to address our country's hunger, health, environmental, and fiscal priorities.

Call your Representative today and ask them to support the Fairness Amendment!
