I don’t do this very often, but this is pretty common sense to me. Plus I grew up eating rice…surrounded by people who really live off of rice. I know the importance of feeding people. And it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever to have policies that hurt more than they help. I don’t see any hidden agenda’s in this, and I understand the need, so I have signed this. If you agree, please take a minute to help feed the people who desperately need it.

Dear friend,

You’ve probably seen the headlines about record food prices, which have lead to deadly violence and panic across the globe.

The U.N. Secretary-General said last week that the situation has “become a global crisis,” and the World Food Program is warning of a “silent tsunami” of hunger. Even here in the U.S., grocery stores are starting to ration sales of rice.

Sadly, this desperate situation is being worsened by our own government’s policies. While we spend billions of dollars on food for the hungry overseas, Congress requires that all of it be purchased from farmers in the U.S. and shipped halfway around the world - wasting money and delaying the food’s arrival.

I just sent a message to Congress, telling them to fix this misguided policy and help feed more hungry people.
