Tell your representative to co-sponsor H.R. 2817, The Roadmap to End Global Hunger and Promote Food Security Act of 2009 Dear kamal, "We have the resources to end hunger in our lifetimes – what we need is the political will to make it happen." – Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.). Last week, Reps. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) and Jo Ann Emerson (R-Mo.) introduced H.R. 2817, a comprehensive legislation to address global hunger and improve food security. Called The Roadmap to End Global Hunger and Promote Food Security Act of 2009, the bill is based on the recommendations of "The Roadmap to End Global Hunger," a report released in February by Friends of the World Food Program and a broad-based coalition of nonprofit organizations. The Roadmap Act calls for the United States government to develop a comprehensive strategy to address global hunger. It also calls for better coordination by creating a White House Office on Global Hunger and Food Security and by establishing a joint permanent select committee in Congress to focus on hunger. Call your representative today and ask him or her to co-sponsor H.R. 2817, The Roadmap to End Global Hunger and Promote Food Security Act of 2009 TRANSPARENCY, EFFICIENCY AND EXCELLENCE Facebook MySpace Twitter HOME BLOG UNSUBSCRIBE 1819 L St NW, 900 Washington DC 20036 T 202 530 1694 F 202 530 1698
