John,
Gutsy, honest leadership is necessary to confront the wealthy interests that seek to exploit our democracy for personal gain and advance the common good.
This truth is directly applicable to one of the most important Cabinet appointments that President-elect Joe Biden will make: Secretary of Agriculture.
Marcia Fudge is a progressive who will use the power of government to feed the hungry and challenge multinational greed. Sign here to demand that Joe Biden nominate Marcia Fudge for Secretary of Agriculture! ([link removed])
The U.S. Department of Agriculture, created in 1862 by Abraham Lincoln to be what he called the “people’s department,” has major anti-monopoly authority.
It has its own banks, controls huge rural development and housing programs, and runs the food stamp, school lunch, and other nutrition programs.
It’s also responsible for food safety and pesticide regulations, directs the Forest Service and other conservation programs, and is mandated to serve consumers and the poor. The department wields a $151 billion annual budget and has some 100,000 employees and an office in every county in America.
Joe Biden has promised to restore trust that our federal government will serve the public interest rather than the already wealthy and powerful. Add your name to tell him to deliver on that promise! ([link removed])
