Don't Privatize the Food Stamp Program!
Big business and their backers in Congress are trying to auction off nutrition for poor children, the elderly and the disabled to corporate profiteers. Protect the Food Stamp program's accountability and integrity.
Tell your senators to oppose any effort to privatize Food Stamps in the Farm Bill.
The Food Stamp program enables as many as 26 million Americans each month to afford the nutritious food they need for good health. To guard against corruption, federal law requires that only qualified civil service employees should determine who is eligible for Food Stamps.

Subject: Don't Privatize Food Stamp Programs in Farm Bill
Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,
I urge you to oppose any effort by huge corporations to privatize the Food Stamp program in the Farm Bill.
To guard against corruption, federal law requires that only qualified civil service employees should determine who is eligible for Food Stamps. Privatizing Food Stamps would have disaterous results -- and in fact that's what happened in Texas.
Please oppose any effort to privatize the Food Stamp program in the Farm Bill.
