Remember EatTheView.org, which got us the White House garden? Well, founder Roger Doiron wants us to declare our "food independence" on July 4 and feature local foods in our homes while asking First Families to do the same.
If you have already signed on to the FoodIndependenceDay.org petition (on the web site or via Facebook), there are some other things that you can do:
• Forward a link to the site to your friends and family.
• Visit the site to put a little pin on the virtual map to show your support of local food.
• Check the virtual map to see if your state's First Family has shared their local food-centered menu with FoodIndependenceDay.org yet (look for a red pin). If they haven't, send 'em a note to email Roger (roger(at)kitchengardeners(dot)org). A handful of governors are on Twitter.
• Get your kids to participate in the "Why I'm a Victory Grower" contest.
• Put the cool widget on your site.
Oh, and for today's Twitter for Victory Garden (#twitter4vg) Tuesday, we'll be chatting up the FoodIndependenceDay.org effort. Watch the comments here.
