President Bush, catering to his friends in the insurance lobby, vetoed legislation that would have given health insurance to millions of American children. Legislation that would have increased State Childrens Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) funding by $35 billion was recently passed by margins of 67-29 in the Senate and 265-159 in the House. The margin in the House just narrowly missed the required two-thirds majority to override a presidential veto.

This follows Bush's recent move that makes it even more difficult for SCHIP to be delivered by those states willing to expand their coverage. 

America In Solidarity is urging its volunteers to contact their Congressional representatives and  tell them  to override this presidential veto.

Contact all your elected officials and tell them that children are just a little more important than the profits of Bush's friends in the Insurance Industry.

Contact your Congressman (202-225-3121) or your Senators (202-224-3121).
