This Thursday is Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day. Have we got a task for them!

One of our most basic jobs as citizens is to make our views known to our elected representatives on important issues that we care about. And what can be more important than the safety of what we eat?

We suggest that you ask your child to write President Barack Obama and ask him to keep our peanut butter safe! Even better, ask them to illustrate the letter with a drawing!

How it works:

Have your child write a letter to the President.
