This is urgent, Friend. The House of Representatives is about to pass Big Ag’s dream bill. [EWG Action Fund]( URGENT: House will vote on Big Ag’s dream bill any day now! [Click here to tell Congress to protect our health, not Big Ag’s profits!]( This is urgent, Friend. The House of Representatives is about to pass Big Ag’s dream bill. This year’s farm bill repeals critical environmental and public health protections – like those that prevent pesticides from getting in our drinking water – while expanding loopholes that have allowed millionaire landowners to stuff their pockets with taxpayer dollars for years! It’s shameful, but we have limited time to stop it. The House vote on the legislation is imminent – we likely only have days to act. We need to overwhelm Congress with emails opposing this bill. Join EWG Action Fund and tell your representatives to vote no on Big Ag’s dream bill! [Click here to take action right now! Tell Congress to stand up for healthy families, not Big Ag’s interests.]( The farm bill is a massive piece of legislation that has a big impact on our food, air and water. It gets reauthorized every five years and, each time, Big Ag chips away at the protections this bill is meant to ensure. Just look at what this year’s bill would do: - Roll back clean water rule regulations and allow farmers to spray pesticides straight into waterways – including those that are drinking water sources! - Prevent cities and counties from taking action on pesticides polluting their communities. It would also rescind any existing local regulations. - Expand loopholes that allow millionaire landowners to line their pockets with taxpayer dollars, without ever lifting a finger on a farm. It’s despicable. While millions of Americans struggle to put healthy food on the table, Congress is more concerned with giving their Big Ag buddies a fat government check. This bill is moving quickly, and if we’re going to stop it we need everyone to take action NOW! [Stand with EWG Action Fund and tell your representative to vote NO on Big Ag’s dream bill (H.R. 2)! We need to protect our health and the environment, not Big Ag’s bottom line.]( Thanks for standing with us, Friend.
