Hunger Free Communities Act has been introduced!

Within the last 24 hours, the Hunger Free Communities Act has been introduced in the House and Senate, and the Millennium Development Goals Resolution has been introduced in the House!

The Hunger Free Communites Act is S. 1120 in the Senate. Its original sponsors are Durbin (D-IL), Lincoln (D-AK), Smith (R-OR) and Lugar (R-IN). It is H.R. 2717 in the House. Its sponsors are Osbourne (R-NE) and McGovern (D-MA).

The Millennium Development Goals Resolution affirms President Bush's endorsement of the Millennium Goals (to cut global hunger and poverty in half by 2015), encourages him to use this year's G7 and UN summits to advance the goals, and urges him to provide leadership and commit the U.S. share of the funding needed to reach the goals. It is H.Con.Res. 172.

Please write four -- yes, four -- letters to Congress now. Write letters to your representative and your two senators, asking each of them to cosponsor the Hunger Free Communities Act. Then write another letter to your representative, asking him or her to cosponsor the Millennium Development Goals Resolution. If you can encourage other people to write four letters, please do so.

We want to seize the extraordinary opportunity that have just now opened up!
Also, please say a prayer of thanksgiving.
