We got an email from a friend noting that two community
garden bills had been introduced in Congress. We pass along their plea here:
"One is a bill (HR 3225 - The Community Gardens Act) which creates a grant program to fund community gardens. Another is a resolution praising community gardens. If you want to voice your support for these, shoot your representative an email and either thank them if they are already a co-sponsor (list below) or ask them to co-sponsor HR 3225."
Sponsor: Jay Inslee (D-WA)
Cosponsors: Del. Madeleine Bordallo [D-GU]
Del. Donna Christensen [D-VI]
Del. Eleanor Norton [D-DC]
Rep. Earl Blumenauer [D-OR3]
Rep. André Carson [D-IN7]

Rep. John Conyers [D-MI14]
Rep. Donna Edwards [D-MD4]
Rep. Eliot Engel [D-NY17]
