Here's what I sent to my own congressman, Ciro Rodriguez:
"Please consider enacting legislation for a formal, national Victory Garden revival.
With rising concerns about food, fuel and national security (and the Fourth of July on the horizon), Americans have an opportunity to take a patriotic, bipartisan approach rooted in U.S. history. By raising even small amounts of food in our homes, businesses, schools and community, we can cut our reliance on fuel, ensure access to fresh, safe food and demonstrate once more our collective resilience in the face of adversity. The federal government's support of the grassroots Victory Garden revival through educational endeavors need not be costly. It's largely a matter of our reframing many of the above issues in such a way that the general public regards Victory Gardening as a logical, sound course of action.
