SHAME ON CONGRESS; ROBBING OUR CHILDREN EDITION 20SEP13

MORE on the despicable, un-Christian vote by the US House to cut funding for food stamps / SNAP. This really is a new low for the repiglican tea-bagger controlled House, one that makes me furious because it is such a gross, blatantly hypocritical act by these politicians who use their faith to justify so much of what they do in Congress. See more on this in my earlier post 

Food Stamps Among The Most Effective Economic Stimulus & Right-wing Christians in Congress forget Jesus' rule of feeding the hungry 23&19SEP13 http://bucknacktssordidtawdryblog.blogspot.com/2013/09/food-stamps-among-most-effective.html

Dear Craig,

Last night, the House of Representatives did the unthinkable: They voted to steal food right out of the mouths of hungry children.

Conservatives pushed through $40 billion in cuts to food stamps (a.k.a. SNAP--the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program).¹

This bill is a huge blow to America's neediest families. If it becomes law, it would kick 4 million hungry people off of SNAP next year and force countless children to go to bed hungry.²

There's going to be a fight in Washington over whether to enact the House bill as it stands or whether it can be scaled back. To win this fight, we have got to get the word out about what these cuts mean for families. Can you share this infographic that lays out the facts about this obscene attack on hungry families?
