Petition to Have SNAP (Food Stamp) Benefits Turned BACK ON PERMANENTLY! (PLUS MORE)!

    Petition to have "SNAP (Food Stamp) Benefit's" TURNED BACK ON PERMANENTLY in Pennsylvania! And ALSO HAVE the MIN AMOUNT RAISED from $194 to at least a NEW MIN of $250 (because being able to eat right keeps us healthy)! And if the POVERTY LEVEL CITIZENS are able to STAY HEALTHY the GOVERNMENT would SAVE MORE MONEY in UNUSED HEALTH INSURANCE than the amount it will take to meet the above stated demand!

    The New Colossus! - A Sonnet by: Emma Lazarus!

    Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
    With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
    Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
    A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
    Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
    Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
    Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
    The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
    "Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
    With silent lips
    WE ARE YOUR TIRED, YOUR HUNGRY, YOUR POOR, WE ARE THE HUDDLED MASSES YEARNING TO BREATH FREE...
    THE WRETCHED REFUSE OF YOUR TEEMING SHORE,
    SEND THESE, THE HOMELESS, TEMPEST-TOST TO ME,
    I LIFT MY LAMP BESIDE THE GOLDEN DOOR!

    WE ARE THOSE PEOPLE! Our ancestors that came here in boats to give their children THE AMERICAN DREAM risking LIFE & LIMB in a lot of cases... Risking SICKNESS while enduring the LONG VOYAGE OVER A VAST OCEAN in a time period when MEDICINE was NOTHING LIKE IT IS TODAY!!! IF THEY COULD SEE THAT AFTER ALL THE ADVANCES WE'VE MADE... INCLUDING THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION...

    THAT WE HAVE THE ALL THE TECHNOLOGY WE NEED TO END HUNGER & HOMLESSNESS COMPLETELY from OUR ENTIRE COUNTRY, BUT THE GOVERNMENT HAS YET TO MAKE THIS A TOP PRIORITY SO THAT IT COULD BE DONE!
    THEY WOULD SCREAM WHY HAVEN'T YOU DONE THIS???

    AND THE REASON... THE SIMPLE ANSWER...

    GREED! - GREED! - GREED!
    The GREED of SOME of the politicians that are being elected into office! They MAKE PROFITS A HIGHER PRIORITY THAN HELPING OUT ALL OF THEIR FELLOW MAN (& Women) AND THAT'S NOT RIGHT!

    SO IF YOU HEAR MY MESSAGE AND WANT TO SAY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH IT"S TIME FOR A CHANGE! WE HAVE THE POWER! WE HAVE A VOICE! BECAUSE "WE ARE THE PEOPLE"!
