I believe the government should stay out of this one. Why don't they just agree to subsidize the organizations who are already doing such a good job. You must remember, these organizations are made up of sportsmen and women who care and work very hard at feeding the less fortunate. Give these organizations a helping hand and realize what a true group of sportspeople can do.

I honestly believe that the government should leave this up to the organizations that are doing such an outstanding job, now. Perhaps the legislature could agree to subsidize these organizations. One must remember, these organizations are made up of sportspeople who really care about the less fortunate people and do a very good job at feeding them. Give these groups of sportspeople some financial backing and watch what they can do.

If there are already several organizations that currently provide this service, WITHOUT GOVERNMENT "ASSISTANCE", then what is the rationale behind this bill. Hopefully the rest of the house sees this as well and lets this one die in committee.
