THE FARM BILL IS A FOOD BILL
ESPECIALLY FOR PEOPLE WHO RELY ON THE FOOD STAMP PROGRAM

Dear (Name of Congressperson):

This year’s farm bill is an opportunity to invest in The Food Stamp Program. Please support these key program improvements in H.R. 2129:

Increase the $10 minimum benefit to at least $30
Restore cuts in the standard deduction
Allow all documented non-citizens access to food stamps
Support working families by eliminating the cap on childcare expenses and increasing the asset limit
Eliminate current eligibility restrictions for single, childless adults

Name: _____________________________________________________________

NOW IS THE TIME TO INVEST IN NUTRITION!
SUPPORT H.R. 2129: FEEDING AMERICA’S FAMILIES ACT OF 2007
