Calling on Republicans who voted against SCHIP to reevaluate their positions, Paul Simon spoke out on Huffington Post yesterday.  His call to action on Huffington is definitely worth reading and helps to show how important this legislation is.  We're coming down to the wire on this legislation and we are extremely close to overturning Bush's veto.

The Huffington Post article is definitely worth checking out.  Here's a small part:

"The president's veto of the re-authorization of SCHIP was a heartless act.

Thanks to groups like Families USA and the Children's Health Fund, Congress is getting closer and closer to overriding the President's veto -- and children of hard working American families are getting closer to receiving affordable health care through SCHIP.

I am asking those of you who supported the veto to reexamine your conscience, to find compassion in your heart for our most vulnerable and sweetest citizens -- our children. I am asking you to change your vote. If you do, I believe it will be one of the proudest days of your life."
