Bush Vetoes Children's Health Care Bill: We Protest
President Bush just vetoed health care for children. In only his fourth veto ever, he blocked health care coverage for millions of uninsured—and mostly poor—kids. The Washington Post is calling this "the biggest domestic policy clash of his presidency."
Bush is totally out of step with public opinion—even 61% of Republicans support the children's health care bill. We need just 15 more Republicans in Congress to break with Bush to override the veto. CONTACT ELTON GALLEGLY.

Contact Elton Gallegly? That is certainly a waste of time. He is the number one Bush lackey in Congress. He will never override a Bush veto.

Until today, I would have thought that this morally bankrupt, shit-for-brains President and those around him couldn't possibly do anything more shameful than what they've already inflicted upon us these last 8 years. Looks like he's hell-bent on giving it a good go.
I'm so looking forward for the nightmare to end...

hell-bent, indeed. apparently the health care veto was a cute way to celebrate Child Health Day, October 1:
"On this day it is also appropriate to recognize the important role the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) has played in helping poor children stay healthy . To preserve that role and ensure that poor children can get the coverage they need, SCHIP should be reauthorized."
TWO F-ING DAYS AGO, this was. watch for the official record to strike this paragraph from the proclamation, a la Orwell's "1984", which Tim Robbins has brought to the stage.
