Received this e-mail from Congresswoman Janice Hahn (D. CA-44) regarding the House GOP's cuts to the SNAP food stamps program:
Yesterday evening the House voted for drastic cuts to SNAP, cutting $39 billion over the next ten years from our country’s nutrition assistance program.
This is totally unacceptable. Millions of vulnerable Americans, including children, the disabled, and seniors, rely on SNAP to keep from going hungry. The bill, passed by the House yesterday with no Democratic support, would cut benefits to up to 3.5 million Americans, and prevent states from deciding the best way to allocate their funding.
Janice has started a petition against this bill because we can’t stand by while millions go hungry. Will you join Janice and tell House Republicans that this bill is dangerous and unacceptable?

When our economy is still lagging and millions of Americans are still struggling to find work, it is unconscionable to cut off a lifeline for so many. We can’t balance our budget on the backs of those who can least afford it.
Will you stand up against this bill, and send a message to Republicans that we won’t stand for this?
