The Hell With The Kids!

The U.S. Congress failed on Thursday to override President Doofus's veto of the SCHIP Bill (HR976), by a margin of only fourteen votes.

Prior to the vote, Rep. Pete Stark launched into a recriminating indictment of the Presidential Puppet, in which he claimed that Bush couldn't approve $35 million for American children's health care, but was completely happy to demand $200 million for the Iraq invasion. Stark, breaking the House tradition of moderating remarks and watering them down to near-impotence, grew a set of balls, stepped forward, and openly stated that U.S. troops in Iraq are getting their heads "blown off for the president's amusement". Here's a healthy tip of the Helms chapeau for the first Congressman I've seen this year who has the guts to tell it like it is.

Members of the U.S. House of Representatives have a habit of ignoring email from people who live outside their districts. Therefore, writing nastygrams to these rightwing nutjobs would be a waste of time unless they represent you. If you see your representative listed above, please do us all a favor and turn his/her email inbox cherry red. We put neglectful parents in jail. What should we do with a neglectful Congress?

Remember - we have an opportunity in 2008 to run every NeoCon in Washington out of town, and turn this government back over to the people. They can't roll over you if you're standing on your own two feet.
