Editor: This is in regard to a letter published in Monday's Record, "Children's insurance deserved better," concerning the unfairness of Bush's veto of increased funding for the State's Children's Health Insurance Program. It failed to outline a method whereby your readers can successfully make an impact on Congress to urge an override of President Bush's veto of funding of Congress's proposed increased SCHIP funding. Increased funding is needed to serve working families who cannot pay for decent housing, food, and clothing, and also pay for gasoline and other car expenses to get to their places of work.

The current Congress, composed of mostly Democrats and a vigorous Republican minority, is going to decide whether to override the president's veto. Contact U.S. Rep. John Mica and our senators quickly, if you want your voice heard on this issue.
