Ask congresswoman to oppose bill that would harm mothers, children

Thanks to Kelly Moyer for her compassionate Mother’s Day piece and the thoughtful questions she raises. (“Do we only care about moms on Mother’s Day?” Camas-Washougal Post-Record, May 10, 2018.) In fact, as Mother’s Day approached, Congress was considering a Farm Bill that would cut two million people, mostly mothers and children, off the SNAP program. The majority of people receiving these benefits, which help put food on the table, are working if they are able.
