Michelle Obama, take spent hens off the menu!

Since 2007, kids have been served 13.6 million pounds of chicken in school lunches that's so low-quality it would otherwise have become compost or dog food. This is chicken KFC refuses to serve.

Known as "spent hen" meat, the poultry industry has been using their influence to peddle this meat to the national school lunch program.  

I think it's time we appealed to our country's most powerful advocate for child nutrition. As first lady Michelle Obama frequently points out: Our kids need, and deserve, better.

Petition Text Dear First Lady Michelle Obama, I know you would agree that kids deserve safe, healthy food. Since 2007, kids have been served 13.6 million pounds of chicken in school lunches that's so low-quality it would otherwise have become compost or dog food. This is chicken KFC refuses to serve. Please use your influence as a champion on child health issues to take this chicken, known as spent hen chicken, off the menu, and tell the USDA that they should adopt science-based safety standards for all high-risk food served in schools. Our children deserve better. Sincerely,

Safe Food, Healthy Kids

Petition Text Dear USDA Secretary Vilsack, More than 23,000 kids got sick from food served in schools between 1998 and 2007. We should make sure that our kids are getting safe, healthy food in school by: · Requiring meat inspections before the meat is ground. · Adopting science-based safety standards for all school lunch meat. · Notifying schools directly about recalls, and creating a national database to help school officials avoid food companies with a history of safety problems.

Stop our tax dollars from subsidizing the BP spill.

BP announced $6.1 billion profits in April for its first quarter -- double last year's number and roughly six times the amount it has spent on the cleanup so far. 

Over the next ten years, the oil and gas industry will receive $40 billion in subsidies -- courtesy of the American taxpayer.

By improving the American Jobs and Closing Tax Loopholes Act, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid can stop sending our tax dollars to subsidize Big Oil's mistakes.

The Senate votes this week.

Sign the petition below to make sure that BP is paying for spill clean up.

Petition Text Dear Senator, I don't want my tax dollars going to big oil companies. There's no better time than now to end corporate welfare to companies that make huge profits and huge mistakes. We urge you to address this injustice in the American Jobs and Closing Tax Loopholes Act. Sincerely,
