Veto the so-called Farm Bill, which subsidizes agribusiness and cuts off food stamps to the truly needy.

Created by E.S. on July 11, 2013

The Farm Bill, stripped of its nutritional assistance program, represents a handout to agribusiness at the expense of children, small farmers, and the environment. Please veto this bill, so that the House of Representatives has time to come up with a bill that will better serve our country and its needs.
The bill, as it stands, is a deeply flawed misappropriation of money to benefit businesses in no need of subsidies, while it ignores those aspects of agriculture that could benefit from development, creating jobs and a future for all. At the same time, it makes the task of conserving farmland and wildlife habitat very much more difficult and expensive. It's a bad bill--please veto it.
