Dear Advocate,
There are only seven days left before the Children's Health
Insurance Program expires and millions of kids lose health
coverage.
This week, Congress will vote on legislation to renew the
program and provide health insurance for 4 million children who
would otherwise be forced to go without it.
The President has promised to veto the
Children’s Health Insurance Program and deny millions of
children basic health care. If the President follows through on
this threat, Congress must override it.
We are hosting a national call-in day on Tuesday,
September 25 to tell Congress and the President that
we're serious about protecting our children.
Please call Congress at 1-800-828-0498
tomorrow. If you can't call then, please call right
now. Tell Congress to support children's health and fight the
President's veto.
Defending his opposition to kids' coverage, President Bush
claimed last Thursday that "our goals should be for children who
have no health insurance to be able to get private
coverage." This puts him at odds with American
parents whose number one goal is a healthy child.
Tell Congress to stand strong against
the President's veto threat. Join our national call-in effort
tomorrow. Please call 1-800-828-0498.
There are just seven days left, and we're ready to fight
until the very end. We hope you will join us.
Thank you,
Maryellen Barreca Children’s Campaign
Coordinator
