Farm Bill is Moving in the Senate
December 10th, 2007 at 3:23 pm | posted by ONE.Partners
About a month ago, we asked you to take action on the farm bill. Thousands of you made phone calls to your senators urging broad reform of the farm bill. Yet, the senate was delayed in taking action. After many false starts, the senate is likely to begin voting on amendments to the farm bill on Tuesday, December 11.
Even if you’ve called before, please take the time to call again. This may be our last chance to impact our senators.
Call your senators today at 1-800-826-3688
Ask them to support the following amendments:
- The Grassley-Dorgan Amendment
- The FRESH Amendment
Background on these amendments here.

I called both my Senators’ DC offices this afternoon regarding the Farm Bill and the amendments to it that we, in ONE, would like to see added to the Bill. I got a polite reception and told them that I am a member of ONE which felt REALLY GOOD.
It’s really a good feeling to know that when we call our Congressional Representatives’ offices now to voice our opinions on funding levels and bills that are up before Congress, that we can identify ourselves as ONE members and our Congressional Representatives’ offices know who we are and what we’re about!
That is REAL PROGRESS and is another step on our “journey of equality”.~
Take very good care of each other, everyONE. Blessings - not just for those who kneel.
ALWAYS ONE in the Spirit, debbie
