The Progressives, here and about, told me that if I voted for former Governor Mitt Romney, FOOD STAMPS WOULD BE CUT FROM POOR PEOPLE AND CHILDREN. I ADMIT, THEY WERE RIGHT, I VOTED FOR ROMNEY and only days after the election, FOOD STAMPS TO THE POOREST AND CHILDREN ARE BEING CUT BY...PRESIDENT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA.

Recipients should get a letter from the state Department of Job and Family Services this month explaining the change, said Ben Johnson, a spokesman for the agency.
