Message from Bush: He doesn't care about our kids.

From MoveOn;

Less than an hour ago, President Bush vetoed health care for children. We only need 15 Republicans in Congress to break with Bush to override the veto. Tomorrow, can you raise the heat at our emergency "Rally for Our Children's Health Care" in Albuquerque?

Dear MoveOn member,

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.1 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.3 We need just 15 more Republicans in Congress to break with Bush to override the veto.

This is a rapid response event, so some people won't even get this email in time. That means we'll need every last person who can possibly come to help show that the public is upset about this veto. If you're reading this, please come!

Tomorrow, can you put the pressure on at our emergency "Rally for Our Children's Health Care" in Albuquerque?

If you have kids, definitely bring them, too!

In the coming days, Congress will try to override Bush's veto with a two-thirds majority-the Senate already passed the bill with a bipartisan, veto-proof majority and the House was close. Our goal is to pressure a few more Republicans to stand up to Bush-enough to pass the children's health bill.

If not enough Republicans buck Bush to overturn the veto, the Democrats have promised to keep sending the bill to Bush, each time increasing the pressure on vulnerable Republicans to support health care for our kids.2 This battle is over the philosophical question of whether or not we should make sure everyone gets health care-and it will set the stage for fights to come.4

Please join us at a "Rally for Our Children's Health Care" to show we're outraged that Republicans are blocking health care for our children-and to set the stage for fights to come:
