Will you pick up the phone so millions of kids
can go to a doctor?



The President's veto stands in the way of providing health coverage to nearly 4 million uninsured children. The President's veto would stop them from joining the millions of children now helped by the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP).

On October 18, the U.S. House will vote on overriding that veto so these millions of children can get care. Rejecting the veto takes a two-thirds vote. It will be close.

That's why your call is so important.

Please call your Representative on Tuesday, October 16
Toll-free number: 1-800-965-4701

Ask for your Representative's office* - Urge him/her to vote to provide health coverage to millions of uninsured children by overriding the veto of the Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act (H.R. 976).

*If you don't know your Rep's name: http://www.house.gov / (enter your zip code, upper left side)

See how your Rep. voted on final passage of the children's health bill: http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2007/roll906.xml

If your Rep. voted no, or didn't vote, your call is especially important - some of the no votes or absences must be turned around in order to get to two-thirds. We can get there - if you and your neighbors call!

Why you should call even if you're sure your Representative will vote in favor of the bill
We need a huge volume of calls - enough to convince everyone that people are watching and want children to have health care. That tells proponents their constituents want them to keep fighting.

13. Thanks for trying to help. Seems DUers are more interested in fighting about their

candidates than in taking action.
