House Democratic Letter Opposing the Save Our Bacon Act

Since that on-the-ground show of support for Prop 12 in D.C., CIWF has been contacting Democratic members of Congress across the country to sign a letter opposing the SOB Act.

That letter was officially submitted in November to Chairman G.T. Thompson, with 182 signatories supporting not only Prop 12, but states' rights to make their own laws.

Senate Opposition is Growing

The fight to keep the Save Our Bacon Act out of the Farm Bill has moved to the Senate, where opposition is building rapidly.

In July 2025, 25 U.S. Senators signed a formal letter to Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman John Boozman and Ranking Member Amy Klobuchar pledging to oppose S. 1326 and any similar legislation in the Farm Bill.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has since publicly stated: "I oppose the Save Our Bacon Act and any attempt to jam it into the Farm Bill. The Save Our Bacon Act does not belong in the Farm Bill, and I will fight to keep it out."

Senator Roger Marshall (R-KS), an original co-sponsor of the Senate companion bill, has withdrawn his support — a major sign that public pressure is working.

The Senate Farm Bill has been released without the Save Our Bacon Act. But we are anticipating an amendment effort. Now is the time to contact your senators and urge them to oppose any amendment that includes SOBA.
