28 Democrats Join Republicans to Support Corporate Welfare, Endorse Hunger

Maybe you're fortunate for never qualifying for FOOD STAMPS.

Living on military pay, qualified us for FOOD STAMPS, not a generous amount, just enough to provide food for a month. There was no other choice.

Can you say the same? What if you have no $$$ to feed your kids?

How are we Christians when we place Welfare for the Wealthy ahead of feeding children?

We should all be embarrassed!

Please join Daily Kos and the Campaign for America’s Future by signing our petition to the 28 Senate Democrats who last week voted to cut food stamps—demanding they put low-income families ahead of corporate welfare. Click here to sign.
On May 21, the U.S. Senate blocked an amendment to reinstate $4.1 billion for food stamps.

But we can’t just blame GOP obstructionism. Twenty-eight Democratic senators joined all voting Republicans in putting corporate welfare for a handful of crop insurance companies ahead of low-income families struggling to make ends meet, by voting down this amendment.

As House Republicans push even more draconian cuts to food stamps, now is the time to take a stand. Please join the Campaign for America’s Future by signing our petition to the 28 Senate Democrats, demanding they put low-income families ahead of corporate welfare.

Sincerely,
