OBAMA PAYING HUGE BONUSES TO SIGN UP FOOD STAMP RECIPIENTS!

Grassfire Update:


Dear Conservatives,

Late last week, Grassfire launched a national petition opposing the Obama administration's use of millions in tax payer dollars to dramatically grow the ranks of the federal food-stamp program, also known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

Created to give families in need a temporary "safety net," the program has become a bloated $80 billion per year government handout rife with unaccountability, abuse and fraud -- with hard-working American taxpayers footing the bill!

Thousands responded, and we're eager to get these petitions to lawmakers, so they can pressure the Obama administration to pursue meaningful reforms as soon as possible.

Lee S, with this being a holiday weekend, we wanted to give key members of our team another opportunity to read our special report and to take immediate action with Grassfire.

The full report and action items are below.

Exposed: Obama's Food Stamp Madness

The Obama administration has spent millions in taxpayer dollars to aggressively promote the government’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) -- including large cash payouts to local governments that sign up the most people. In fact, one state received a $5 million bonus for “the swift processing of applications.”

         Since taking office in January 2009, Obama has 
         been adding 11,269 food-stamp recipients per day
         an astounding 49.3 percent increase, prompting
         Newt Gingrich to label him the “Food Stamp
         President.”

         Today, more than 47 million Americans are
         receiving food stamps -- a number larger than the
         entire population of Spain.

         A federal audit of SNAP revealed that many of the
         47 million already receiving food stamps don’t
         actually qualify but receive them anyway under
         a special program that disregards income and
         asset requirements.

That means American taxpayers are paying what’s been called a “multi-million-dollar tab to feed hundreds of thousands who can well afford to feed themselves.”

The SNAP program was designed to be a temporary safety net for individuals and families in need. Yet under Obama, it has become a bloated, fraud-filled entitlement program funded by American taxpayers.

But that’s not even the worst of it.
 
Obama is even reaching across our borders, encouraging foreign nationals, migrant workers
and non-citizen immigrants to apply for SNAP benefits -- all on your dime!

With our economy in shambles, and our national debt approaching $17 trillion, taxpayers can ill-afford to fund another Obama handout that last year topped out at $80.4 billion.

That’s why Grassfire is launching a national petition calling for an end to taxpayer dollars being used to recruit more food-stamp recipients. We’re also urging Congress to act in the best interests of our nation and its citizens, by enacting meaningful and comprehensive SNAP reform.

Go here now add your name to our national “Stop the Food-Stamp Madness” petition:

+ + Killing The “Can Do” American Spirit

Thomas Jefferson once said that “a wise and frugal government … shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned.” But Obama, the great “wealth distributor,” is driven to use federal policy to take from the “haves” and give to the “have-nots.”

Fight back by going here now and signing Grassfire’s petition:

www.grassfire.com/982/petition.asp

As soon as Grassfire mobilizes 50,000 citizen signers, we'll hand-deliver these petitions to key members of Congress who are already demanding changes to the food stamp program.

After signing, please alert your friends and family members to this Obama charade – urging them to join with you to stop the food stamp madness that cost American taxpayers $80.4 billion last year alone!

Have them click here to be represented by Grassfire on Capitol Hill.

Thank you for taking action with Grassfire and opposing Obama’s efforts to grow SNAP using your tax dollars!

The Grassfire Team

P.S. Again, after signing, invite your friends and family to stand with you in supporting SNAP reform. Urge them to go here now and sign our “Stop the Food-Stamp Madness” petition.
