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.
Current signers to this letter include Rick Bayless, Michael Pollan, Wendell Berry,
Marion Nestle, Bill McKibben, Wes Jackson, Catherine Sneed and Alice Waters
among many others.
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.
And then FORWARD to all your friends.
As you may know this effort has appeared in numerous blogs, including Grist,Salon and
in the New York Times online:
