All food stamp cuts reversed in three states. Massachusetts can do it, too. Sign and send the petition now.

Interesting!

In a last-second twist, New York and Connecticut have found a clever way to prevent their residents from suffering any food stamp cuts at all! And Pennsylvania just joined them as well. Every state facing food stamp cuts, including Massachusetts, can do the exact same thing. Signature needed: Tell your governor to take the simple action that will prevent anyone in Massachusetts from facing food stamp cuts. It is complicated to explain, and you can read an explanation here. But the bottom line is this: If a state increases its minimum monthly heating assistance benefit to $20 without kicking anyone out of the program, then no one in that state would face food stamp cuts. Two of the 16 states—New York and Connecticut—have already done this, thanks to the leadership of Govs. Andrew Cuomo and Dan Malloy. And just today, Pennsylvania's governor—a Republican, to boot—followed their lead. The other 13 states need to join them now. Sign and send the petition demanding that your governor increase heating assistance to low-income families as a means of restoring their food stamp benefits. Keep fighting, Chris Bowers, Daily Kos
