Thank you for calling!

After you’ve called your senator(s) to ask them to sign the Durbin-Casey letter, please fill out the form at the right to let us know you made the call.

Asking your senator(s) to add their name to a sign-on letter is an extremely effective thing you can do to stand up against hunger and poverty. It's important to let us know that you've called so we can more effectively work with congressional staff, and also so we can communicate better with you.

If you haven't called already, call now: 800-826-3688

Sample Message to your Senator(s)
Your statement of support for permanent funding on the farm bill can help make great strides against hunger and poverty here at home and around the world. Please show your support for a nutrition title that adequately and permanently funds vital needs by signing onto the Durbin-Casey letter.

Key points:

• Over 35 million Americans- including more that 12 million children- struggle to put food on the table.
• The new investments made in the Food Stamp Program of the Senate bill are not secure and will be taken away in 5 years. This represents a false promise to millions of vulnerable Americans who will see their benefits expand in 2008, only to have the increase taken away five years later. Please ensure that nutrition title improvements do not sunset in 2012.
• The farm bill must include permanent funding at no less than the Senate-passed levels for the nutrition title.

Please complete calls by: COB Friday, January 25.
