The Alert: On Thursday the House Agriculture Committee struck a major blow against family farmers. The Committee approved a bill that will continue multi-million dollar subsidy checks to mega-farms and actually result in even bigger subsidies to many of the nation's largest farms.
Now, Speaker Pelosi is supporting the bill as it heads to the House floor. Furthermore, she has the power to prevent substantive reform on the floor. That is why she needs to hear from you that increasing payments to
mega-farms is not reform.
Take Action: Write to Speaker Pelosi using the form on the right. Or call her office at (202) 225-0100. Tell her...
- The Committee's proposal is not real reform
- Reject any Farm Bill that continues to subsidize the destruction of family farming
- Support real reform that helps family farms by limiting farm subsidies that mega-farms will use to drive their smaller neighbors out of business
- That you are not buying the bill of goods that the House Ag Committee Chairman is selling
So far 869 people have contacted Speaker Pelosi.
