It's Time Mothers* Decide
The President vetoed a bill to give 4 million uninsured children access to health care because it cost $35 BILLION over 5 years. At the same time he asks Congress for an additional $190 BILLION for the war in Iraq. None of this money goes to the reconstruction of Iraq or to ensure the health and education of Iraqi children. It's time mothers* decide how we spend our money to ensure the security of the world's children.
