Action Alert

New Jersey Governor Corzine wants to consolidate state services by eliminating the Department of Agriculture and merging the existing divisions into other state departments. This elimination has the potential to negatively impact the state economy as well as those we serve via the Food and Nutrition Programs.

Here is how you can help:

1) Open the attached letter and insert your personal information where indicated. Print the letter and send it to your state representative and Governor Corzine.

2) Call your state representative and the Governor.

3) Email your state representative and the Governor. Tell them that these programs are too important to lose.
