The SCHIP hits the fan tomorrow.

Michelle Malkin agrees with me and draws a line in the sand for House Republicans.

On Thursday, the House of Representatives will vote on a measure to override President Bush’s veto of a massive government-subsidized health-insurance entitlement expansion plan. I agree with the Democrats on one thing: This is indeed a “defining moment.”

Defining moment indeed: Who represents the truly needy? Who represents responsible taxpayers? Who represents future generations, who would be forced to send their hard-earned money to fund this hugetastic middle-class entitlement explosion? The GOP is already responsible for passing the obscene Medicare prescription-drug-entitlement expansion — the largest in the program’s history and the true costs of which were suppressed until after it became law.If Republicans don’t have the guts to torpedo the Democrats’ SCHIP Trojan Horse permanently, they deserve to lose their seats.
I agree, if we cannot stop this massive expansion, how will we ever stop HillaryCare 2.0?



Americans for Prosperity have an easy-to-use system to send e-mails to your House representative, urging them to uphold the President's veto of the $35 billion dollar expansion of SCHIP. Just click on the "Hello my Name is BIG GOVERNMENT" sticker off the homepage or follow this link.

The email is already written but you can edit it all you want. All you have to do is fill in a few blanks and your zip code and your representative will hear from you. If you are like me and don't know how to best get your opinion to your representative, this is the easiest, most passive way to let your opinion be known.
