104 Catherine CoxCAReducing our country's dependence on oil is critical to our national security and economic well-being. One way to do this is to grow food closer to the point of consumption. "Victory gardens" are an idea who's time has come again, just as in WWII.
105 Allison ArieffCA
106 bryan burkhartCAget with this
107 Trevor PaqueCAgood idea
108 Mary Breasted SmythNHLocal food production is vitally important for our survival in the coming oil-deficit age. And the food will taste better and be much healthier for us than food that we buy in our supermarkets. How strange it is that we have organized ourselves away from what is natural, healthy and economical for us in providing for our basic needs.
109 AnonymousCAWith the cost of fuel, the carbon footprint of food trucked across county and flown in from around the world, combined with the continuing concerns about food safety, bringing back the Victory Garden is a timely concept which I support.

112 annette baughmanCAI agree with this petition and I strongly support it.
113 Georgia NallyCAI think this is a great idea and would like to know more information about Victory Gardens. I have a vegetable garden here at my home and started it so my grandchildren would learn about gardening and where veggies come from. With the current food scares, etc., I am glad I planted it!

120 AnonymousTXWith the "peak oil" crisis ever looming around the corner, we need to encourage Americans to become more independent, prepared and knowledgeable in growing some of their own food. This activity will encourage the sense of community too.

123 AnonymousGAThis makes so much sense - I remember the victory garden my family had during WWII, and we had wonderful times together - as well as wonderful food.

129 AnonymousCAWater costs are skyrocketing here. It has become prohibitive to have a vegetable garden.

131 Heather ReesNYThe critical need for the return to local agribusiness - from the backyard farmer to the larger farms in rural areas - is the need for us all to be accountable for our lives and the effects we have on others. Not to mention, when was the last time you actually had a good tomato from your local chain grocery store? I say, bring back the tomato!!!

148 AnonymousWith food and fuel prices going through the roof, and with all the surplus carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, it's about time we went back to trying to "do for ourselves."
