Solicitation to Contact Congress Regarding Food Policy

Received an email from the Concerned Citizens Network identifying specific concerns. Here's an excerpt.
The 2012 Farm Bill does not only impact to the future of United States, it also affects the welfare of people all over the world.

Tell Congress to start subsidies for Organic Plant Farming. By helping farmers transition and succeed in Organic Plant Farming, United States will build a solid foundation for sustainable agriclture (sic). It is a win win policy for the government, farmers, taxpayers, consumers and the world. This new food policy will determine our destiny.

A good practice goes a long way beyond staying with the law. We urge you to help American recognize the cruel truth about the meat culture. A shift to plant-based Organic Agriculture is the quickest way to restore the health of each American and the health of our Planet.

For the continual survival of the human race, food choice is no longer a personal preference.[my bold]
So, it appears that the Concerned Citizens Network wants me to tell Congress to allocate taxpayer-funded subsidies to organic farmers and to pass laws restricting what I'm allowed to eat.

Since I don't support seemingly anything the Concerned Citizens Network advocates, I would guess their solicitation was sent to me by mistake.
