The following message is from Bob Nicklas, director of the American Federation of Government Employee’s Political Action Committee and Issues Mobilization Department:
If we can get 10,504 more signatures before June 1, the Obama Administration will be forced to issue a response to our We the People petition to keep dirty, unsafe chicken off of your kitchen table and stop the USDA from cutting the jobs of over 800 AFGE chicken inspectors. But time is running out and unless the proposed rules are changed, this is what you could be eating for your next dinner:
If you’ve already taken action, thank you and please forward this email to everyone you know who eats chicken! If you haven’t signed our We the People petition yet, here’s what we need you to do:
- If you have an account, sign-in and sign the petition.
- If you don’t have an account, just click this button and enter your information. This does not mean the White House will start emailing you:
- You’ll then be taken back to the petition to sign, or you can follow our link in step 1.
The USDA is considering this pilot program to eliminate federal inspection and mandatory training simply to allow private poultry processing plants to do whatever they can to save a buck.
This won’t take more than 5 minutes, but your signature will help ensure that President Obama hears about the threat to clean food on our dinner tables.
LET THEM EAT CHICKEN
