While Comedy's Central Stephen Colbert is a riot, the campaign is no laughing matter. The offer to recruit unemployed Americans is serious. Would-be farm workers can sign up via the Take Our Jobs website. Of the 5,000+ who have filled out inquiries, 3 people are now working in the fields. On his show, Stephen Colbert declared he would be #4.

U.S. Agriculture is dependent on an immigrant workforce. Last week, President Obama recognized the vital role immigrant farm workers play in feeding America. Like the President we all know that deporting all undocumented farm workers would cause the collapse of the agricultural industry.

This is why the UFW has launched the Take Our Jobs campaign. The effort underscores that we are a nation in denial about our food supply. The campaign is aimed at creating a national discussion about who does the work to feed our country.

Sign the AgJOBS pledge today and take a stand to tell legislators that they should do all they can to support the bipartisan AgJOBS bill, created by both agribusiness and the UFW.
