Time is of
the essence…
Within the next few days President-Elect Obama will be
naming one of the most
important posts in his cabinet — our next Secretary
of Agriculture. For those of us
who care about the environment,
sustainability, healthy food, animal welfare and
creating local food
systems, NOW IS THE TIME TO ACT.
A groundswell of grassroots support is needed to encourage
President-Elect Obama
to nominate a Secretary who will bring sustainable
change to the United States
Department of Agriculture.
A grassroots
effort has taken flight.
We invite you to JOIN US in this grassroots
effort by signing this
live letter advocating a Sustainable Choice for the next Secretary of
Agriculture.

Michael Pollan, Wendell Berry,

Please join them by
once again casting your vote for change by supporting a Sustainable Choice for
our next Secretary of Agriculture.
Help make this type of change
possible by signing this letter. Our work has only begun.
PLEASE SIGN this
letter at: http://www.fooddemocracynow.org
