The monster did it! He vetoed health care for CHILDREN and he was too goddamned cowardly to do his dirty work before public eyes:
"Bush cast his veto behind closed doors without any fanfare or news coverage."
We only needed 15 Republicans to change their NAY votes to overrule bush's veto... My Congressman Pete Hoekstra was one of the Republicans in Congress that refused to change his vote. He refused to protect the 23,061 children living in MI-02 without healthcare! Let me repeat that:
PETER HOEKSTRA VOTED AGAINST 23,061 CHILDREN IN MICHIGAN'S 2nd U.S. CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT!!!
PETER HOEKSTRA HATES CHILDREN!!!
I will be standing on the corner of River Street and US 31 in Manistee, MI at 6:00pm tonight. I will be the one holding a sign questioning Hoekstra's heartless vote and bush's evil veto. Hopefully, I will not be standing there alone, but I will if I must. I am heartbroken by this veto and Hoekstra's vote.
I've spoken to people about Hoekstra's vote against SCHIP and heard:
So what? I've never even heard of SCHIP before.
And those people are right... Sort of.
It's true that we don't have SCHIP here in Michigan, but we do have MIChild, and MIChild gets funding from the Federal SCHIP program. No SCHIP funding means no MIChild funding.
