Campaign Unavailable
We're sorry, this alert is no longer available.
The short explanation of this alert was:
When you think of family farmers, do you picture comedian David Letterman or former NBA star Scottie Pippen? How about billionaires like David Rockefeller and Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen?
Amazingly, they're some of the people receiving your taxpayer dollars in the form of crop subsidies, which overwhelmingly benefit big agribusiness and absentee landlords at the expense of farmers in America and the developing world who are struggling to feed their families.
Right now, Congress is deciding whether to extend these subsidies as part of the Farm Bill, a mammoth but little-known piece of legislation that governs our nation's agricultural policies. It affects everyone who eats, not just those who farm.
Send a message to your senators and representative today!
