You're not going to believe this—President Bush just vetoed health care for millions of low-income children!
I know that's hard to believe, and I wish I were making it up. But I'm not. Earlier today, President Bush vetoed a bipartisan expansion of the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP)—a successful program that provides health care to millions of low-income children.
All I can say is, compassionate conservatism indeed.
I can't believe Bush's nerve, and I bet you can't either. But wait, it gets worse—two days before vetoing health care for millions of low-income children, George Bush had the nerve to issue a presidential proclamation commemorating—you guessed it—"Child Health Day."
Who needs health care when you've got Bush's empty rhetoric? Unfortunately, presidential proclamations don't pay the bills when a child needs care.
We're sick of Bush's rank hypocrisy. We're sick of Republicans ignoring the needs of hard-working Americans and catering to special interests instead.
It's time for a change—the kind of big, bold change that John Edwards is calling for. That change starts with universal health care. So join our campaign, and support John's call for change by contributing whatever you can afford today.

Other campaigns may talk a good game about change, but John is the one leading the way.
John is leading the way with bold action, not just words. Last week, he announced that he would seek public financing instead of relying on special interests and big corporations to bankroll his campaign. That decision has set a standard that our opponents have yet to live up to.
John's decision also means that your donations up to $250 are eligible to be matched—so donate today, and your contribution could count double!

On Monday, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) organized a group of parents and children that marched to the White House to protest Bush's upcoming veto. What happened when they got there? They were asked to go away.
Bush's heartless actions could not demonstrate more clearly to voters the choices we're facing in this election. We can choose to stay with the same old system—a system that ignores the needs of regular people and caters to big business and special interests instead. Or we can choose to go in a new direction—and support John's call for the big, bold change we need in America today.
The choice is up to you.
