2nd Virtual Rally for CNR, 10/28

From the Food Research and Action Center (FRAC):

Last week's Virtual Rally for Child Nutrition Reauthorization was a resounding success! Thank you to those on Twitter who made us the talk of the town, and others who participated via Facebook, called the White House, and e-mailed President Obama.

Let's keep the momentum going strong. We're going to rally again this Thursday, October 28, 12 noon - 4:00 pm. The White House needs to keep hearing from you!

Get Ready for the Virtual Rally:

• Make sure you are near a computer or phone on October 28 from 12 noon - 4:00 pm.
• If you are on Facebook and/or Twitter, use your accounts to relay your message to the White House. Check out FRAC on Facebook or Twitter for messages you can re-post or re-tweet, and additional actions you can take.
• Not on Facebook or Twitter? During the rally time, call the White House comment line (202) 456-1414 or e-mail the White House via this form letter.
• Create a rally video before Thursday. Use your phone or camera to record yourself "at the rally." Gather your friends, co-workers, and others to join you. Upload your videos to YouTube and the URLs to Mike Ambrose so FRAC can post the videos on our Rally page. Check out the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism for a great example. Can't make a video? Just take a picture of your rally sign and send it to us.
• Invite your Representative to make a speech at the Rally via Twitter or Facebook. Tell them about FRAC's virtual rally. Ask her/him to join us for the rally and show support via Tweet or Facebook posting for a strong child nutrition bill that doesn't cut SNAP/food stamp benefits.

Share this message: A good child nutrition bill can make needed improvements without cutting future SNAP/food stamp benefits. It's a must-fix priority.
