The below action really only takes about three minutes, and could be HUGE if
enough concerned folks do it. I feel like it's imperative that peaceful
parents (AND OTHERS!) speak out for peaceful existences for all children, a large part of
which is access to healthcare when a child needs it.
The recent restoration of budget cuts for our public libraries is a
fantastic example of how mobilized mamas (and daddies) who voice their
concerns really make a difference for good.
(The below email campaign is from friend / colleague Susan McKay
who now works with the Tennessee Healthcare Campaign, just to source it for
you)
Be well.

*** It is enough to call & ask him to vote YES to Reauthorize SCHIP
with $50 Billion in essential funding.
If you want to say more, here are talking points:
*Priority #1: Health Care for Children
* 84% of Americans strongly support covering children.
That's why reauthorizing the State Children's Health Insurance
Program (SCHIP) with adequate funding of $50 billion is a national
priority.
* Healthy coverage is a vital investment in our children and in our
nation's future.
Today, SCHIP provides high-quality, affordable health coverage to 4
million children who would otherwise be uninsured. Still, there
remains 9 million uninsured children, of whom about 6 million are
eligible for SCHIP, but are not enrolled. $50 billion over 5 years
would protect coverage for the 4 million kids currently enrolled and
expand coverage to other eligible 6 million. Reauthorizing the
program with adequate funding is a priority for the health of our
children and health of our nation!
*
its SCHIP program, called CoverKids, to help insure 150,000
children. Reauthorization by Congress with adequate funding is
essential for
* It's a matter of priorities. We MUST make children a priority. No
child should lose coverage because Congress doesn't properly fund a
sound program. The $50 billion in funding over 5 years means that no
eligible child enrolled in SCHIP today will lose coverage and that 6
million more eligible kids will get coverage. Without this funding,
millions of needy children will be at risk.
Call Rep. Cooper NOW!
