Friends,

We're running out of time, we need 100,000 signatures before Vilsack is
confirmed to send the
message<http://cts.vresp.com/c/?FoodDemocracyNow/7a1506139d/3a9f52c4bf/f6cb3b4d49>that
sustainable agriculture is critical to America's future.

Now that the Secretary of Agriculture has been selected, it's more important
than ever that we send our message to Washington. Today's farmers need a
serious voice for sustainable change at the USDA. Help Food Democracy
Now!<http://cts.vresp.com/c/?FoodDemocracyNow/7a1506139d/3a9f52c4bf/200830220e>send
in the
Sustainable Dozen<http://cts.vresp.com/c/?FoodDemocracyNow/7a1506139d/3a9f52c4bf/c1aa14c924>
.

Food Democracy Now!<http://cts.vresp.com/c/?FoodDemocracyNow/7a1506139d/3a9f52c4bf/829bd0221c>has
created a list of 12
candidates<http://cts.vresp.com/c/?FoodDemocracyNow/7a1506139d/3a9f52c4bf/f8deee3596>for
the crucial Under Secretary positions that will stand up for safe,
healthy food, clear air and water, animal welfare and soil preservation.
These 12 candidates have spent their lives fighting for family farmers and
we're calling them the Sustainable
Dozen<http://cts.vresp.com/c/?FoodDemocracyNow/7a1506139d/3a9f52c4bf/b0f6db3a51>.
Help us send them to Washington.

Due to your help, in just three weeks, more than 60,000 Americans joined
Michael Pollan, Wendell Berry, Wes Jackson, Alice Waters, Marion Nestle,
Frances Moore Lappé, and Eric Schlosser calling for a sustainable USDA.

We need your help to continue to spread the word to your friends and
colleagues to reach our goal of 100,000 signatures before the Inauguration!
