🚨 URGENT: The Future of H**p Is on the Line
Congress is quietly trying to sneak h**p prohibition into the new budget bill — a move that would effectively recriminalize h**p and destroy thousands of small businesses, farmers, and jobs nationwide.
This hidden amendment, backed by Senator Mitch McConnell, would undo everything the 2018 Farm Bill built. But there’s still hope — Senator Rand Paul has introduced an amendment to strike this harmful language.
🕐 We have hours, not days, to act.
Here’s what you can do right now:
📞 Call Senate leadership and tell them to support Rand Paul’s amendment and remove all anti-h**p language from the bill.
Say this when you call:
> “I’m calling to ask Senate Leadership to allow the Senate to hear Rand Paul’s amendment to strike the anti-h**p language from the budget bill. This is critical to protect thousands of small businesses and farmers nationwide.”
