thisfinecrewThe Trump administration wants to cut SNAP benefits to low-income women without children.

It's best to write your own comment, but if you want talking points, feel free to paraphrase what I'm sending:
"I strongly oppose the proposed regulation change. ALL Americans should have enough to eat, including adults who don't have children, or whose children are grown.
"The SNAP program helps my neighbors, some of whom are working but still cannot afford enough to eat, because of low wages or high rents. The United States is a rich country, and no Americans should go to bed hungry at night."
(I heard about this through UltraViolet.)
