End Child Hunger in America
As most of you know, I work as the webmaster of Share Our Strength, a national organization dedicated to ending child hunger. When I first joined, I did not know nearly as much about the issue as I do now. What I've learned has astonished me.
Poverty is complex; solving hunger is easy. We already know what works, and we already have the tools in place to ensure no child in America has to go hungry again. The only thing we lack is money.
Let me repeat that for emphasis. The ONLY thing we lack is money.
Change.org is accepting submissions of ideas on how we can change America and will be submitting ten of them to then President Barack Obama on inauguration day. I want the #1 issue that he sees to be ending child hunger in America.
To do this, all I need is for you to go to change.org and vote on this issue. With enough votes, we can ensue that first thing President Obama sees is a plan to end child hunger in America in less than a decade.
This issue is big enough to make a difference, yet small enough to be doable RIGHT NOW. With one in six American children at risk of hunger, it is abominable that we could conceivably justify spending money elsewhere. We already have proven scalable solutions to ending domestic child hunger. Let me repeat: WE ALREADY HAVE PROVEN SCALABLE SOLUTIONS TO ENDING DOMESTIC CHILD HUNGER. All we lack is funding. All we lack is legislative will.
Please go to change.org and vote on this issue, and please send this message to all of your friends. If we do this, we really and truly can eliminate child hunger in America within ten years. Within ten years!
It's time to do this, America. Let's end child hunger in our country once and for all. Yes, we can.
