Another letter - this time from the House


Though on the same issue of SCHIP, this letter from the House is far more encouraging

Last week or so I had some rather harsh words for Republicans in general and my Senator specifically. Thing are, apparently, a little better when it comes to the House of Representatives.

I received a letter from Mr. David Davis, my representative in the House, which stated that he voted against the SCHIP bill that included a ridiculous tax increase on tobacco. He also goes on to state he "will vote to sustain the President's veto of this bill." I'm hoping that means that Bush will actually veto the bill after it makes it out of conference, but Bush sometimes seems to have misplaced his veto pen and can't be counted on to block things.

So while I still harbor serious doubts about the Republicans in general, I would definitely be remiss if I didn't solute one who got this issue absolutely right. Thank you, David Davis for voting against this awful piece of legislation.
