Carol Shea-Porter: “Americans are divided over many issues, but we are not divided over health care for our children. We are a good people…”

“Americans are divided over many issues, but we are not divided over health care for our children. We are a good people, and we want our children to have health care. None of us want to see children in this country without health care; none, except for the President and his Republican supporters in Congress, that is. Madam Speaker, the President and his supporters in Congress want to take hardworking American tax dollars and spend them, but not on the kids; no, in Iraq, in the middle of a civil war, with the $190 billion, which is the President's new request for Iraq, as he turns around to the children and the hardworking families of America and says, Just don't get sick, kids. Mr. President, that is not acceptable.”
