Thanks go out to so many of you who studied the farm bill and contacted your congressman about this important piece of legislation. As many of you know, all reform amendments were defeated late last week, including the Grassley/Dorgan amendment.
So, Holly H from Bread Blog asks...Where do we go from here? She has a couple of suggestions that are worth pursuing:
1) Learn more about how your member of congress voted and why.
2) Take Action. Get Fired Up!
Send your senators holiday cards, either expressing your gratitude for their support of a fair farm bill or expressing your disappointment that they blocked much-needed reforms that would have benefited hungry people. (Here is a release from David Beckman- is your senator on the list?)
