The People's Email Network Last 25 Messages Transmitted Log Go Back Override The SCHIP Veto ********** [035632:012408] J.M., La Porte, TX I am very concerned about the 10 million American children without health insurance. American children should not have to wait until they end in an emergency room to get health care. Many childhood illnesses that could have been taken care of with early diagnoses can turn into a live or death situation by the time they are seen in an emergency room. I cannot and will not vote for any politician that votes against SCHIP and children. ********** [090255:111907] A.S., Portland, OR It takes a barbaric mindstate to make a decision that would deny our nations chldren healthcare for the sake of saving money. I truly do not know how George W. Bush can sleep at night. Amber Smith ********** [142933:111507] M.A., Grapevine, TX Mr. Bush, When was the last time you got your healthcare at the tax-payer's cost? Why do you not pay for your own healthcare, or, better yet: go to emergency room! ********** [051312:111107] j.c., Rittman, OH no one cares about the little guy as to how he can live,we all cant go to collage,some one has to do the grunt work ,i work for home depot they charge me 150.00 a mouth for health insurence which is a lot for part time,a billion dollare company and they wont take care of there work force its greed on there part you cant take it with you when you die ,if they care about there fellow man (which they dont)they would be willing to take care of there health needs. ********** [155549:110607] D.R., Miami, FL We must protect our children and hold their health needs in high regard, for they are the future of our country. If they endure health complications, due to arrogant maneuvers of those in the White House, we are essentially putting our future at risk. We must protect our children's health! ********** [132246:110607] S.L., Bloomington, IN This is a sorry excuse for a government. We need to completely clean it up,we DO have the ability. Now! ********** [133733:110507] L.K., Detroit, MI Somebody has to do something for these kids. Third world countries take better care of their people than we do. We should be ashamed. ********** [193356:110407] B.W., Venice, CA How can you turn your backs on million of our children? How can you promote the use of Emergency Rooms for basic health care, knowing what that burden will do to those already strained facilities? As a Registered Nurse I reject both actions, and insist that SCHIP be restored and expanded. ********** [191530:103007] K.Z., Sedro Woolley, WA I have a son who is nearly four years old, I can't imagine how someone (Government/Bush) could veto a bill so important to the present and future generations of the United States. If he can afford to send our children to war, he can certainly afford to spend a minuscule amount in comparison on health care for our children! ********** [170920:103007] M.V., New Milford, NJ When the US government can spend billions of dollars on an unecessary war, I think it is time to stop and consider the next generation. They cannot all have health insurance because of the formidable expense. But they could and shoud get necessary care to live a meaningful life. ********** [190937:102907] S.M., Sarasota, FL If the US Government can spend billions of dollars on war without our permission, it can take care of the prescious commodity of children. You can bet that our representatives whom we vote into office, do not have to worry about healthcare for their children! ********** [212751:102607] S.L., Bloomington, IN Bush and Cheney are braindead to veto this. Throw them out and prosecute,they are some of the Worst criminals! Protect our Constitution. The heart and soul of the United States of America. ********** [142240:102607] m.d., San Diego, CA SUPPORT KUCINICH FOR PRES, IMPEACH CHENEY AND BUSH, NO MORE FUNDING WAR, NO WAR W/ IRAN, DISABAND U.S. MILITARY MILITIAS ABROAD AND IN POTRERO! ********** [202508:102507] J.F., New Holland, OH Remember "No Child Left Out" ********** [202351:102407] R.B., Milwaukee, WI A national health care plan for all Americans -especially necessary for our children- will be affordable when you stop funding the Bush Administration's illegal and immoral war and any future wars he may arbitrarily decide to wage. Override the SCHIP veto! ********** [201833:102407] K.B., Milwaukee, WI Stop supporting the Bush administration's request for more billions to kill more Iraqi children with, and override his veto to provide health care for all our children (and Iraqi children injured with this illegal and vicious war). The money for health care will be plentiful when you stop funding this war and all other wars in the future! ********** [171029:102407] C.H., Edisto Island, SC It is absolutely shameful that any child in this country should go without healthcare ********** [110847:102407] K.I., Saint Petersburg, FL There are no words to express how utterly disgusted and disappointed I am in the "so called representation" we citizens have managed to elect. WE REALLY MUST DO A BETTER JOB NEXT TIME! ********** [051918:102307] C.V., Mount Holly, NJ I think Congress should add another Billion and send that to Bush, giving him a hint where the numbers are going on this one. Then those who voted against the last one would have a chance to redeem themselves. ********** [124119:102207] N.W., Duluth, MN Nancy Welharticky ********** [090346:102207] L.M., Louisville, KY I heartily support this care for children. They are our most important resource and in the long run it will save us money by caring for them now. L.C. McKinley ********** [085134:102207] C.A., Arroyo Grande, CA Children. Our Future. Health care for children and education will be how our future can be fortold. Keeping our children healthy and educated is putting our future in good hands. ********** [193546:102107] R.B., Redlands, CA Just 13 votes are blocking legislation that will provide health care for kids by providing the majority to override Bush's veto. In addition, a CBS poll showed that 8 out of 10 Americans support the kid's health care plan Bush vetoed - including the majority of Republicans. Congressman Lewis don't follow Bush - follow the majority and change your vote from nay to yes. ********** [155404:102107] M.J., Elberton, GA I wish Bush was not greedy and ignorant. It would be nice to have a president that had some sort of redeeming quality. ********** [140831:102107] S.N., Tucson, AZ SCHIP should not be a political issue. It is a moral issue and the right thing to do is override the Presidents veto. The majority of Americans know what is right and once again we'll have to shame the President into doing the right thing. ********** Go Back
