Our voices<\/a> are being heard! Yesterday the House passed a bill to enlarge the State Children\u2019s Health Insurance Program by $47 billion over five years to extend coverage to an additional 5 million children.
\nThe Senate will be debating a similar measure to expand the highly successful program by $35 billion over five years, adding 3 million children. Despite President Bush\u2019s ideologically-driven and mean-spirited threat of a veto, we are approaching a veto-proof majority of 70 votes in the Senate. In order to secure 70 votes we need a continuous barrage of phone calls from faith advocates from across the country adding their voices to a growing chorus that calls for a healthier future for our nation\u2019s most vulnerable and disadvantaged children.
\nCall your senators today at (877) 367-5235, a free number set up by our friends at PICO National Network. Tell them that people of faith are counting on them to stand up for the millions of uninsured children in the U.S.
