Who are Republicans? They just told us. House Republicans voted to pass a multibillion-dollar subsidy for agribusiness while eliminating support for food stamps.
That's not hyperbole. It happened. They chose to do it.
This wasn't intended as legislation. It was a declaration of identity. This is who they are. We knew Republicans fight to block any tax hikes for millionaires. We knew they want to privatize Social Security. Now we know they are ready to take food from the mouths of hungry people.
47 million Americans receive food stamps. Nearly half are children under 18; nearly 10% are impoverished seniors. Republicans said they were "extraneous" to the farm bill. But they did nothing to protect those they kicked off the bus.
The 216 House Republicans who voted for this bill must be held accountable. Their constituents must learn of the choice they just made. Campaign for America's Future will take this story directly to media in their districts. For that we need your help.
