contacting your Congressional representatives and media figures:


Fact: There are 43 million Americans living in poverty.

Fact: More and more Americans are relying on social services such as WIC, Medicaid, Food Stamps, and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families.

Fact: Congress is poised to slash funding to all of these services, leaving those 43 million people with nowhere to turn. There is no charity, no church, possessing the wherewithal to help every single person in need.

Fact: You have the right to contact your representatives and tell them how you want your government to work! Let them know that it is not ok to abandon the most vulnerable members of our society!
