Ditch the Rule social media day: Friday, Sept. 26

American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) Ditch the Rule campaign that opposes the Waters of the U.S. proposed rule issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Corps of Engineers has scheduled a social media day to continue the fight.

AFBF requests that on Friday, Sept. 26, Farm Bureau leaders, members and staff retweet, “favorite” the tweet, post on Facebook and spread the word through social media the following message:

I support clean water but @EPA’s water rule is a problem for everyone. #ReadtheFinePrint here: http://bit.ly/1mlKUDA #DitchtheRule

EPA is planning a ThunderClap for 2 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 29. A ThunderClap is a single message to be mass-shared at a scheduled time. Farm Bureau would like to get ahead of the EPA and steal some of the agency’s “thunder” in a social media sphere.
