SCHIP Update

Speaking of moral and spiritual bankruptcy, how do you kill an overwhelmingly popular and effective health care program that brings health care to ten million American children in need while you pretend to want to re-authorize the same program?   If you're the morally and spiritually bankrupt GOP, you

1. Set up a phony and evil class war between "low-income" families and the scheming, undeserving "middle class" by pretending to care about the "low-income" children getting coverage: Insist that an impossibly high percentage of "low-income" children are covered before any "middle class" child can have access to  program dollars.

2. Drag "illegals" through the mud and pretend that the program ever allowed undocumented children to steal health care from the federal treasury: Insist on program eligibility requirements that will prevent "low-income" families from signing up making sure that the impossibly high sign-up requirement from Step One is never met.

If you're the Democrats, you let them get away with it.

Call your Congressperson today and tell him/her that you want the current bi-paritisan, compromise SCHIP bill passed unchanged.

Compassionate Conservatism in Action

Zinn


  • "[O]ur time, our energy, should be spent in educating, agitating, organizing our fellow citizens in the workplace, in the neighborhood, in the schools. Our objective should be to build, painstakingly, patiently but energetically, a movement that, when it reaches a certain critical mass, would shake whoever is in the White House, in Congress, into changing national policy on matters of war and social justice."

Bono


  • "True religion will not let us fall asleep in the comfort of our freedom. Love thy neighbor is not a piece of advice, it's a command. ...

    God, my friends, is with the poor and God is with us, if we are with them. This is not a burden, this is an adventure."

The Reverend Al Sharpton


  • Ray wasn't singing about what he knew, 'cause Ray had been blind since he was a child. He hadn't seen many purple mountains. He hadn't seen many fruited plains. He was singing about what he believed to be.

    Mr. President, we love America, not because of all of us have seen the beauty all the time.

    But we believed if we kept on working, if we kept on marching, if we kept on voting, if we kept on believing, we would make America beautiful for everybody.

Marx


  • ''With adequate profit, capital is very bold. A certain 10 percent will ensure its employment anywhere; 20 percent will produce eagerness, 50 percent positive audacity; 100 percent will make it ready to trample on all human laws; 300 percent, and there is not a crime which it will not scruple, nor a risk it will not run, even to the chance of its owner being hanged.''
