Why on earth do we want to take away their food stamps? The House must defeat this meanspirited. hurtful rule. Before casting their votes. I hope Members understand that a vote for this rule. a vote to strip food stamps from children. the disabled. and the elderly who are legal immigrants. is a vote against citizens. groups that support disabled rights. religious groups. and advocates for the poor. It is a vote against farmers who will not be happy that this critical. timesensitive legislation is delayed by the politics of malice. If this rule passes. there is not a chance that the legislation will survive without the food stamp provision.
