No more elections. No more endless campaign commercials, debates, and discussions.
Finally, Congress is back on Capitol Hill – let’s hope they’re ready to get to work!
What’s on the legislative agenda for the lame duck session? Together, we can make sure the 2012 Farm Bill is on that list. Because there’s too much at stake for it to get left behind. We need to grow the next generation of American farmers by providing the tools, training, and access to capital that beginning and socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers need to succeed.
Yesterday the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition delivered nearly 22,000 signatures on behalf of over 50 organizations nationwide – including us! – to Congress from farmers, ranchers, and concerned citizens calling for an equitable, sustainable 2012 Farm Bill. But we’re not finished yet! It’s time to make sure Congress listens.
Make one call today (and ask one friend to join you!), and together, we can make sure that Congress finishes their work on a 2012 Farm Bill – one that invests in healthy farms, food, and people; protects our precious air, soil, and water; and reforms farm subsidies and levels the playing field.
Making a call is simple and takes only moments.
Can you imagine the impact we’ll have with thousands of calls flooding into Congress in only one day? We’ll be making a unified statement – one that Congress can’t ignore: We want a farm bill done this year, and we want it done right.
Follow the links above to the phone number to call Capital Hill and speak to your representative and join us in making a unified statement to Congress.
