		<description><![CDATA[We are nearing a dramatic crisis with our food. Everything setup to help keep U.S. citizens fed relies on fossil fuels. As these fuels run dry, food prices will skyrocket in the United States and globally. We need sustainable leaders in office to help lead the way to a more energy efficient food system. Please help keep America's food safe by electing Francis Thicke. ]]></description>
