Senators heard your message: they did the responsible thing for our kids and passed the Child Nutrition Act before adjourning for recess.

But now that Members of Congress are beginning their August Recess, we need to make sure the House of Representatives doesn't fall behind!

Our Representatives need to see that when school and Congress are back in session this fall, millions of kids will be counting on them to take action to make cafeterias and classrooms healthier places.

Hundres of You're the Cure advocates submitted their photos urging Congress to pass the Child Nutrition Act- and now it's time to use the pictures to demonstrate to our Representatives just how important Americans think the health of our children is.

The Child Nutrition Act will give our kids the tools they need to fight childhood obesity at school by strengthening nutrition standards for school meals and expanding opportunities for physical activity.

Thank you for your commitment.
