" Every year, 48 million Americans get sick from contaminated food, and 3,000 adults and children die from it. The government agencies that oversee food safety operate under a patchwork system that doesn&amp;#039;t protect families adequately. You can help change that! &amp;quot;The Safe Meat and Poultry Act,&amp;quot; introduced in the Senate by Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, calls for stricter inspection and testing standards for these foods. Let your Senators know that you want them to support this legislation. A sample letter appears below; just copy and paste the letter into an email to both your Senators. You can find contact info at senate.gov; click on &amp;quot;find your senators&amp;quot; on the top right.  Sample letter Dear Senator ________: I urge you to support Senator Gillibrand&amp;#039;s fight for safer food and pass the Safe Meat and Poultry Act. Too many people are sickened and die each year from the food they eat. Our families need the stricter inspection and testing standards that this law would ensure. Thank you. Sincerely, Your name _________ Your address_________ Your e-mail__________ "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
