There's very little time, and this is VERY
important:
The House is about to vote on an amendment to the
farm bill that would radically improve the way the US provides food aid.
Oxfam has been working on fixing our government's
broken food aid policies for years, and we've never had a chance like this.
This amendment would
feed 4 million more people a year at no additional cost to taxpayers.
But for this amendment to pass, we need your U.S.
representative's support. Seize the moment with us – make a call to reform
food aid now!
To make your call, just dial 1-888-404-5166 and follow the
prompts to connect to your Representative. Then, tell the
staffer:
"My name is____, and I'm a supporter of Oxfam
America, calling from _______ to ask that my Representative vote YES on
the Royce-Engel Food Aid Reform Amendment to the Farm Bill.
It's bipartisan, and the amendment will save lives
and money – it will ensure that the US government has the flexibility it
needs to provide lifesaving emergency food assistance where it's needed
most, in the fastest and most cost effective way.
Will my Representative be supporting this
amendment?"
If your call doesn't go through on the
first try, that just means momentum is building and so many people are
calling that the line is busy – wait two minutes and then try again!
This is our chance to fix a huge problem with US
government food aid – and help it reach millions more people. Will you make a ca;l?
Thanks in advance for your time – your words will
make a HUGE difference in this fight.
Sincerely,
Oxfam America Advocacy Fund
