Hey Folks the $40 Billion dollar SNAP (Food stamp) cuts, passed by the House is NOT a done deal!
It still has to go through the Senate.
Please write your Senators now & tell them of your opposition.
***** SO PLEASE-- WRITE YOUR SENATOR NOW ***** TO TELL THEM YOU ARE OPPOSED TO CUTTING SNAP BENEFITS FOR POVERTY LEVEL FAMILIES (72% WORK FULL TIME!!!), CHILDREN, VETS & MILITARY.
Very important facts:
72% of all SNAP recipients work FULL TIME (as in Wal-Mart, McDonalds and all other minimum wage employers).
76% of SNAP households included a child, an elderly person, or a disabled person. These vulnerable households receive 83% of all SNAP benefits.
