We at CFIF have long sounded the alarm regarding the federal sugar policy morass.
There may be no uglier illustration of the crony capitalism, government meddling in our economy and bureaucratic mandates anywhere within our federal government. And the program demonstrably ends up costing far more jobs and hurting far more American consumers than it benefits, as we noted in January:
It costs almost three times as many jobs as it claims to protect; results in American consumers and manufacturers paying double the cost for a product that consumers and industries in other countries pay; eliminates over 100,000 American manufacturing jobs; and costs Americans approximately $3 billion per year.
But now there’s something you can do to bring about positive change. Our friends at the Alliance for Fair Sugar Policy have launched a simple and effective grassroots tool to help generate messages to Congress.
There’s nothing that grabs the attention of Senators and Representatives and drives them to action more than hearing from actual constituents. Accordingly, please take just a short moment to view the image below and take action by simply texting “SUGAR” to 52886.
