Washington, DC,

We must pass a nutrition bill that helps feed hungry Americans, not one that punishes the poor.
Contact: Staci Cox (202) 225- 4572 Washington, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Gwen Moore (WI-4) released this statement opposing legislation that includes $40 billion in nutrition assistance cuts. It has been reported that Republican leadership plans to introduce their bill in September. “This bill is the newest round of Republican tactics to harm the hungry. If the nutrition cuts in the first farm bill didn’t go far enough to take food from the mouths of hungry families, this legislation surely will. More than 47 million Americans rely on food assistance to survive. House Republicans seem determined to remove this vital lifeline. “I join Democrats in our opposition to these callous cuts. We must pass a nutrition bill that helps feed hungry Americans, not one that punishes the poor. ” ### For “Moore” News Updates Follow Gwen Moore on Twitter @RepGwenMoore and Like Gwen Moore on Facebook
