Senator Grayson's petition on the Farm Bill

He notes that not only will the Farm Bill cut food stamps, but it will cut them more in States with Democrat (blue) majorities. It does this by removing a home heating deduction that figures into food stamp eligibility. The result is that cold States that have higher heating bills will see an additional $9 billion in food stamp cuts. And the coldest States just happen (uh huh) to be mostly blue States, which will see 97% of the total cuts to the food stamp program. Please sign his petition to thwart these draconian and cruel cuts to the most needy.
