I can't tell you how much I admire Tom Colicchio. [View all]

His work on poverty and hunger is so needed. His mother ran a public school cafeteria when he was a child and he's never forgotten her work and dedication to making certain that children did not go hungry in that school.

How does your congressman score on the food policy score card Tom's group has developed?
