No SNAP: Farm Bill would Cut $33 Billion From Food Stamp Programs

The budget approved by the House requires $33 billion in cuts from federal agricultural spending in the next ten years (to start with) and the House Agriculture Committee has approved a proposal to take it all out of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP - formerly food stamps).

This move would result in 2 million Americans losing SNAP benefits entirely, while another 44 million Americans would experience cuts to their benefits.  Everyone who receives SNAP benefits would be affected and 280,000 American children would also lose free school meals that they qualify for on the basis of qualifying for SNAP benefits.

Guess who still gets money?  Rich corporate farms.

Almost 4 million Texans receive SNAP benefits.  More than half of these Texans are children.

Call your Congressional Representatives, Mamas!
