DO NOT Kill the CHIP Bill

Will the Texas House kill the CHIP bill?

The Senate passed the CHIP buy-in bill on Sunday, but the House adjourned without voting on the legislation. The House will reconvene at 10 a.m. on Monday for the final day of the legislative session. Please call Speaker Straus and your Texas House member early on Monday and tell them:

"Do not kill the CHIP bill. We need a vote on the CHIP bill on Monday."

* Speaker Straus: 1.888.327.2086
* Find your legislator: http://www.fyi.legis.state.tx.us/ <http://www.fyi.legis.state.tx.us/>

Your calls to state leaders are making a difference. Today (Monday) is the very last day of the legislative session. Your calls got the CHIP bill passed in the Senate--now we need your help to get it passed in the House on the final day of the legislative session. Please call today, and get your friends and family to call too!

Don't let the clock run out on 80,000 children. Call now to Save CHIP!!
