Tomorrow is THE day!

Tomorrow is the day--election day. (or as I like to call it, the day the political calls stop!). Here's your reminder to get out and vote tomorrow.  I don't really believe in telling people how to vote.   Vote your values.  If, by chance, your values are similar to mine, you might want to check out the website I got from Ken Cook from EWG.


"Do you want more affordable organic, healthy food? What about more farmers' markets and healthier food in your local schools?

Then check out Food Policy Action's Food Policy Scorecard. It scores members of Congress on critical floor votes related to our food.

This is the first time that federal lawmakers have ever been graded on their votes of food policies. I'm thrilled to join luminaries such as Chef Tom Colicchio and organics pioneer Gary Hirshberg as founding board members of this new initiative. Until now, consumers like you have been voting with your pocketbooks to demand safe and affordable food. Now you have the information you need to support lawmakers who have stood with you, not big food or industrial agriculture.

In the interactive scorecard you can search for lawmakers, learn more about key votes and see who is a Food Failure or a Food Champion.

Click here to find out if your lawmakers made the grade in the Food Policy Action Scorecard.

The scorecard is based on 32 floor votes - 18 in the U.S. Senate and 14 in the U.S. House of Representatives - that impact the food we eat everyday.

The votes, taken over the past two years, cover food safety, hunger, farm subsidies, food labeling, organic farming and local food systems. While other national organizations have graded lawmakers on various federal policy issues, no group has ever analyzed their recorded votes on specific legislative actions concerning food before. Some 50 members of Congress scored a perfect 100.

Click here to see how your elected officials scored and to learn more about key policies on which they voted.

Working together, we can fix our nation’s broken food policies. Knowing how our elected officials have voted is only the beginning.

Sincerely,


Ken Cook
President, EWG Action Fund"

I just thought it was kind of a cool tool to help you at the polls tomorrow.  So plan a time to get out and vote! Don't be an undecided voter.
