Thanks for sharing this . You made it VERY easy. I made 2 calls to my

CO reps in a matter of minutes. Of note, Marilyn Musgrave, CO, is a former

student of mine. She attended a class I gave back in the mid- 80's when we both

lived in/near Ft. , CO. Hopefully, she'll remember me! Forwarded it

to other listservs as well. (Has been sent to NCC, NE and HEN listservs)

Conference on Food and Nutrition!

Hello,

I am very excited about this. I’m a member of ANSA, which has been working

with McGovern to introduce the bill to have a White House Conference on Food

and Nutrition in 2009!!

If your representative or Senator is listed please call and encourage them

to support this bill. It’s been far too long since nutrition has been a focus

at the executive level.

Best,

Support a White House Conference on Food and Nutrition!

Legislation supporting a White House Conference on Food and Nutrition has

been introduced in the House of Representatives! Congressman McGovern

co-sponsors. ANSA is thrilled to have worked so closely with Rep. McGovern’s

office to bring the legislation this far.

We’re making great progress and now need your help to build support in

Congress for the White House Conference!

What Can You Do to Help?

Right now, we are focusing on gaining more co-sponsors in the House. Please

contact your Congressman or Congresswoman and urge him/her to sign on as a

Background

Nearly 40 years have passed since the United States convened a White House

conference to comprehensively address the issues of food, hunger, health and

nutrition in America. While we have made great strides, more than 35,000,000

of our neighbors face a constant struggle against hunger, 12,600,000 of whom

are children and 5,000,000 of whom are seniors, the disabled and the

critically ill. We now have a tremendous opportunity to discuss the power of

nutrition at the highest levels in the country and to bring about real change

in how

we care for those who are too young, too old, too sick or too hurt by life

to care for themselves.

Please contact ANSA if you have any questions, and let us know when you

contact your Representative’s office!
