41 days in Iraq vs. insuring 10 million children.

President Bush has threatened to veto legislation renewing and expanding the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). The legislation would extend health coverage to as many as 10 million children — four million of whom are currently uninsured. Bush has claimed the SCHIP bill contains “excessive spending,” but in fact, just 41 days of the war in Iraq would fully pay for the coverage:

3. Republicans only care about kids twice in their lives
Before they are born and when they sign up to fight the war they started.

4. This needs to be a bumper sticker, and a tattoo
that we all wear on our foreheads, and that we snail mail/email our reps and senators every day.

41 days in Iraq = 10 Million Kids Covered.

What is wrong with my country???
