Singer Paul Simon called out to Republicans who originally voted against SCHIP to rethink their votes and support overriding Bush's veto of the legislation:
Simon also spoke out on Huffington Post in an article yesterdayspoke out on Huffington Post in an article yesterday. The singer is extremely convincing and the whole article is definitely worth reading but here's a clip:
The president's veto of the re-authorization of SCHIP was a heartless act.
Thanks to groups like Families USA and the Children's Health Fund, Congress is getting closer and closer to overriding the President's veto -- and children of hard working American families are getting closer to receiving affordable health care through SCHIP.
I am asking those of you who supported the veto to reexamine your conscience, to find compassion in your heart for our most vulnerable and sweetest citizens -- our children. I am asking you to change your vote. If you do, I believe it will be one of the proudest days of your life.
