The vote to override the SCHIP veto is tomorrow. If you live in North Carolina, Mississippi, Georgia, or Indiana, you have Democratic members of Congress who are voting with Bush:
Rep. Bobby Etheridge (North Carolina)
Rep. Jim Marshall (Georgia)
Rep. Gene Taylor (Mississippi)
Rep. Baron Hill (Indiana)
Rep. Mike McIntyre (North Carolina)
From Bitch Ph.D. and PunditMom, here's a list of the Republican members of Congress who voted with Bush but who are up for re-election:
Rep. Tom Feeney (Florida)
Rep. Steve Chabot (Ohio)
Rep. Sam Graves (Missouri)
Rep. John R. Kuhl (New York)
Rep. John Boozman (Arkansas)
Rep. Thaddeus G. McCotter (Michigan)
Rep. Jim Saxton (New Jersey)
Rep. Joe Knollenberg (Michigan)
Rep. Thelma Drake (Virginia)
Rep. Tim Walberg (Michigan)
If you're feeling especially sluggish, you can send an e-mail or fax to your congressperson through the MomsRising site.

My rep told me he will not change his mind unless they lower the income requirments (in the bill, it's around $83,000) and mandate that hospitals verify citizenship. Asshole.
Mandate that hospitals verify citizenship?!! WTF?!
yes, clearly, lets nitpick.
guh, if for no other reason than to cover the vaccines that jackhole should want all kids to have health insurance.
And the whole thing about adults being covered? That's pregnant women. Where's the problem?
