The debate on whether millions of children will receive health care has begun - 150,000 children in Tennessee

Final votes will occur this week - possibly as soon as today - Call TODAU

President Bush and his allies continue to impose their political ideology on this bipartisan effort to provide health care for children. In the Senate, harmful amendments are being offered to drastically slash funding and eliminate millions of children from the program.

We must not let the Bush Administration derail this children's health bill.

Action plan:

When you call your Senators, tell them to vote YES on children's health and NO on all amendments that restrict children's eligibility for health coverage.

The House needs to hear from constituents too, so before putting down the phone, please call your Representative in the House and urge them to vote for the children's health bill on the Floor.

Let's help kids get the coverage they need and deserve, and push Congress to pass the children's health bills by the widest possible margins in the House and Senate.

Strong votes in Congress will send a message to President Bush and his advisors that they must think twice before vetoing legislation that provides health care to millions of children.
