The President's job provided affordable health insurance for his kids when they were still running around causing scandals in the White House, and he is apparently not worried about the kids who don't have it so well. He vetoed the re-authorization of the hugely important Children's Health Insurance Program this past week, in spite of its wide bipartisan support.
If ever a veto needed to be overturned - this is the one.
Texas Mamas:
Below is the list of the way Texas Congress folks voted. EVERYONE call Cornyn and let him know he needs to change his vote or get the hell out of dodge because ALL Texas mamas want this bill to pass! If your Representative is also on the idiot list or didn't vote, please call them and urge them to come to their senses and over-ride the veto. Meanwhile, everyone tell your Congress folks who did vote right to stay strong and fight for our kids, okay?
Other U.S. Mamas:
Google your Congress folks and find out where they stand. If they need convincing, convince 'em. I know you Ohio mamas are as shocked as I am about your boy...I shook the man's hand once and the Lone Star Girl went around with one of his stickers on her school binder...please talk some sense into his my-way-or-the-highway head fast.
Now, mamas...now. We don't have much time.
