There are practical strategies that work, strategies to revitalize 21st century rural communities. But local initiatives must be matched by federal policies that support rural revitalization, rather than hinder it. The 2007 farm bill provides one vehicle to chart a new course. … Our goal is to gather 10,000 signatures on the Strenthen Rural America Petition and present the signatures to members of Congress in August 2006. And we need you help to make it happen!

In addition to signing the Strengthen Rural America Petition, we need help getting the word out. Send this link to everyone you can think of and urge them to sign the petition. Rural America is worth fighting for, and if we don’t do it, who will? thanks, John Crabtree
