(See previous SCHIP story here. If you can't make it to the rally, be sure to contact your congressperson directly and give them your opinion on this bill. - promoted by lpackard)
With Bush's veto of the SCHIP (State Children's Health Insurance Program) bill, the House will be voting on Oct. 18 to attempt to override the veto. Congressman Dingell, one of the largest advocates for children's healthcare in Congress will be hosting a rally tomorrow, Oct. 9 at 1:00pm at the Ford Performing arts Center in Dearborn, during the Republican Presidential Debate.
The rally is intended to make all of the GOP candidates, GOP supporters and media aware of the need for guaranteed health care for all children in the nation, and that President Bush was completely wrong in vetoing this great bill.
The Congressman will be joined by supporters and friends, to help bring attention to this very necessary bill.
The event will be held at the Ford Performing Arts Center, 15801 Michigan Ave. in Dearborn. The debate is sponsored by the University of Michigan-Dearborn and will be held at 1pm. If you plan to attend the rally you may want to get there early as working your way through all of the Republican supporters who are being bussed in may take a while. |
