If the data is available on the FNS website, it’s tough to find. I dug around and couldn’t locate anything. If you find a source that breaks the stats down by percentage of racial group, please do post it. I’d be interested to learn the answer.
From the FNS Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program website:
43 percent of participants are white; 33 percent are African-American, non-Hispanic; 19 percent are Hispanic; 2 percent are Asian, 2 percent are Native American, and less than 1 percent are of unknown race or ethnicity.

The same thing I do every election cycle. Volunteering with the local RNC. That means walking door to door and passing out literature, usually. Talking to the people I meet and greeting them with a smile even when they don't have a kind word for me. In other words, spreading the word face to face.
It gets me away from the keyboard during a stressful time of the year ('08 was particularly bad) and the walking gives me some exercise.

Which is precisely why these online petitions are ignored. Pull a random sample of 1000 names from the petition. Does that represent one thousand differnt people, or one guy with a Perl script and a database of first & last names?
By all means, sign the petition if it makes you feel good.
Please don't do so with the expectation that you're changing anything.
