Over 500,000 low income family\'s depend on the CHIP program. Due to a budget crisis congress is considering taking this program out. If they do so our children will be suffering. It is up to us as parents to try to save this program. This petition will be sent to Senator Jane Nelson on March 28, 2003. Personal letters may be sent as well to: The Honorable Jane Nelson P.O. Box 12068 Austin, TX 78711 Phone:512-463-0112 Fax: 512-463-0923 Thank you for your support.

I have spent my mornings on the phone with the Senator's office and the lack of a clear answer is heartbreaking. My own child relies on this coverage and I refuse to stop fighting until we get some clarity.

Seeing this kind of momentum brings me so much relief because my own child relies on these benefits every single day. Knowing that so many of you are fighting this battle with me makes the future feel a little less terrifying.

Fix the budget by cutting something else. Health care for kids should be nonnegotiable.

Congress needs to stop playing games with our kids health. This is just wrong.
