Re: SCHIP VETO'd
I started thinking... would the White House mailing system pass along cigars sent to the President or would they be put in the trash bin in fear that someone is trying to poison the President?

Re: SCHIP VETO'd
N/M.. found my answer.
http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/ Gifts & Items Sent to the White House Items sent to the White House often experience a significant delivery delay and can be irreparably harmed due to the security screening process. Therefore, please do not send items of personal importance, such as family photographs, because items may be unable to be returned. We also request that gifts of a consumable nature, such as food, flowers, and other perishable items, not be sent to the White House due to the security screening process. While the President and Mrs. Bush and Vice President and Mrs. Cheney appreciate your thoughtfulness, they request that you look instead to your local community for opportunities to assist your neighbors in need. To comment on the web site or to report an error, please send feedback to the Web Development Team. |

Re: SCHIP VETO'd
I think the "Bush hates Children" quip by Jerry was a tongue-in-cheek reference to Kanye West's infamous "George Bush hates black people".
Jerry definitely is aware of the fiscal sensibilities of the veto. ![]()

Re: SCHIP VETO'd
It was funny after I heard about this I told my wife to just watch the news tonight and see how many references the news makes to this damn near destroying the lives of children. Not two minutes later comes a commercial for the 10pm news and the first thing they say is "Tonight at 10 find out how President Bush has taken away health care for children."

Re: SCHIP VETO'd
Pay attention to the wording! I had to write a paper on this in my morality class last year in high school, and the actual quote was "George Bush does not care about black people". I also said hate, so I got the assignment wrong.

Re: SCHIP VETO'd
I had to explain to my co-workers this morning about why Bush vetoed this. They all came in believing the media hype about how Bush doesn't want kids to have health care. After I explained $83,000 household income and 25 year old children, they understood.

Re: SCHIP VETO'd
Hooray for the veto! Remeber to stay vigilant though, the people beind this thing are indefatigable, and also know the value of incrementalism. . . look for them to come back at it again with smaller steps toward the same end.
But once again, hooray for the veto!

Next step...
Yesterday, the House of Representatives voted further consideration of the veto message and the bill, H.R. 976, be postponed until October 18, 2007.
This vote to delay, sponsored by the Democrats (Hoyer-MD), went strictly along party lines with 222 Ayes (all Dems) and 196 noes (1 Dem). This gives the Democrats two weeks to try to turn two dozen Republicans and override the veto. Our message should be simple... keep telling your Representatives to vote against this bill!!! |
