Dear Colleagues -- Peter Reinecke has just forwarded the attached note laying out a specific list of Farm Bill conferees who are most important to the SNAP bill. On our call tomorrow morning, Peter and Trish will provide more details, but I wanted you to have this list of key Senators and Representatives in advance of the call. If you are in Kansas, Iowa, Utah, or Arizona, your calls will be particularly important as constituents. We urge you take a few moments to make that call. It could make a big difference.
Thanks, and we look forward to having you on the call.
