Soon Congress will take up the SCHIP expansion bill that was vetoed by President Bush. Congress needs to uphold the president's veto of this bill and prevent a serious move towards socialized medicine. The SCHIP program was meant to cover poor children, but Congress is trying to move adults into government-run health care. As if this wasn't bad enough, the proposed $35 billion expansion would be funded by yet another huge tax hike! This time, the target is smokers, to the tune of 61 cents per pack.

Representative Sam Graves is a key target on this issue, and the Left is running ads in his district to convince you and your neighbors to support the expansion of SCHIP. That is why it is imperative that you TAKE ACTION NOW to combat the Left's campaign.

Instead of supporting free market solutions to health insurance, the Left is trying to use children as political pawns in order to grow the size of government and raise taxes. They should be ashamed of their tactics and hard-working Americans should take a stand against them.

TAKE ACTION to tell Representative Graves to hold the line on taxes and spending, and support President Bush's veto of the SCHIP expansion bill. You should then follow up your email with a call to his office: 202-225-7041.

"Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidise it." - Ronald Reagan
