From our friends at the Food Research and Action Center:

Take Action: Urge Your House Member to Sign Letter to House Ag Committee Protecting SNAP and Other Nutrition Programs.

Now that the Super Committee has failed to reach an agreement on deficit reduction, action shifts to the House and Senate Agriculture Committees to develop a Farm Bill. Reps. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) and James McGovern (D-MA) are circulating a Dear Colleague letter urging the House Agriculture Committee to protect SNAP and other low-income nutrition programs as it considers options for the next farm bill.

Urge your House Member to support SNAP and nutrition programs by signing the letter by Friday, December 9, COB. Click here to view the letter.
