Congress Approves Church-Backed Child Hunger Bill Despite Opposition From Sarah Palin, Greg Walden
Friday, December 03, 2010
It is good news that Congress passed the Child Nutrition Reauthorization Act - legislation backed by many church groups - despite the opposition of figures such as Sarah Palin. It is disappointing, however, that Oregon's Greg Walden sided with Palin and voted against providing food for hungry kids. But since Walden is also taking the lead in blocking employment uninsurance assistance for millions of workers this holiday season while backing tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans it is no surprise.
