Don't Let President Bush's Veto of Children's Healthcare Stand!

Target: US Congress
Sponsored by: Families USA

Unless Congress acts to overturn President Bush's latest veto, ten million children will lose their health coverage.

Our children count on us to protect them. We expect our elected leaders to remember that.

The House and Senate made a historic, bipartisan compromise when they passed State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) bill.

Congress stood by the American people, reaching out to the growing number of low-income, uninsured children in this country and making sure they get access to the healthy start they deserve.

But with the sweep of a pen, President Bush is trying to take it away.

Tell Congress to fight back against President Bush's veto to deny health care to America's children!

Stop spending billions in Iraq. Charity begins at home. What is Bush thinking? He has given in to the forces of evil in the world, and this is an even more clear indicator than the war of his fall from grace.

All children deserve health care, just as much as you did. How would you feel if your own family couldn't afford to see a doctor or get the medical care they deserve.

stand firm against Bush, how can he deny children health care. He send millions of dollars over seas to countries to help feed the hungry children there and give them health care, why not his own country? My Grandmother (Bless her soul) used to say when we had a bad remark about some one was to say clean up your own backyard first. so that goes for this countrys children at least to start. there are many other issues we could go on about but thing my grandmothers saying says alot in its own right

How Bush can look at himself in the mirrow is beyond me. He spends Billions on a war he will never win and the USA shouldn't have been in there to begin with. Yet his own people go without health care.
