The National Commission on Hunger created by Congress issued its report this
morning and although five of us were appointed by the Democratic leadership of
Congress, and five by the Republican leadership, we managed to be unanimous in
support of nearly 20 recommendations to help end hunger in the United
States. Such bipartisanship is rare in Washington today. But we wanted to
set an example of how people with very different views and political
backgrounds could – with time, patience, and good will – come together on
behalf of those most vulnerable and voiceless. One of my Commission
colleagues, Jeremy Everett, and I issued a statement that gives more details as
to what we achieved @ https://medium.com/@billshore/joint-statement-on-the-new-national-commission-on-hunger-report-29d523292db0#.o227pqgit
And it includes a link to the report itself. Let’s hope it’s an
omen for the year ahead!
