Conservative,

The trillion-dollar farm and food stamp bill should not be called the "Farm Bill." Washington doesn't want Americans to know that 80 percent of the spending in the bill goes to fund Obama's big-government, food stamp agenda.

>> Get the facts: the "farm" bill is no farm bill at all.

The 20 percent of the bill that goes toward farm programs is equally disturbing. The appalling truth is that many people are paid to grow nothing. The main recipients of the subsidies in the bill are the rich and famous, including families of current members of Congress and the USDA secretary Tom Vilsack. Big farmers with record high incomes, record low debt, and vastly improved farm technology are getting your taxpayer money.

>> Don't be fooled: Washington insiders want to maintain the unholy alliance between farm and food stamp policy.

For far too long Washington politicians have kept food stamps in the farm bill to help the bill get passed. This means less accountability, less transparency, and less of a chance for real reform to either farm or food stamp programs.

Thank you for joining us to defeat this trillion dollar bill.

Sincerely,




Michael A. Needham
