Subject: Stop Government Pork

In 2009 alone the factory farm pork industry has received over $150 million from

the USDA in

an effort to bailout the industrial animal industry. Please urge Agriculture

Secretary Tom Vilsack to stop using our money to prop

up factory farms.

Here's the basic problem: A current USDA program is funneling taxpayer money to

fund new and bigger factory farm operations. This

lending is leading to the gross overproduction of hogs and poultry. So much

livestock is being churned out that it has caused a

long-term depression of producer prices, forcing family farmers out of business

in these already tough economic times.

Not only that, but these types of factory farms pose a real danger to our

communities, our natural resources, and the livelihood of

hardworking family farmers who dedicated their lives to raising poultry and

livestock in ways that safeguard our air, water and

public health.

Right now, family farmers need all the help they can get. Please join us in

standing up for them.

Please take a minute to add your name.
