Please take a moment as the year draws to a close to make a tax-deductible gift to the, Childrensdefensefund and help them fight for the rights of every child in America.
Your generous donation will provide them the extraordinary opportunity in the New Year to act boldly and decisively in defense of our nation's children.
With your help, Childrensdefensefund
will demand that all children have access to affordable, seamless and comprehensive health and mental health coverage. Despite President Bush's outrageous veto of the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP),they pledge they will not give up until every child in America is covered!
Insist that all children have access to quality early childhood education.
Each day in America more than 2,400 babies are born into poverty... more than nine million children have no health insurance... and on any given day, 200,000 children and their families are homeless.
These numbers are a tragedy every day of the year. But during the holidays, I'm even more outraged that so many of our nation's children are left out and left behind. For them, there will be no warm holiday meals, no trips to Grandma's house and no presents under the tree.
As you pause to count your blessings this holiday season, I ask you to remember the less fortunate children and families among us.
Their Promise:
"we will put your year-end gift to work right away to give every child in America a Healthy Start, a Head Start, A Fair Start, Safe Start and a Moral Start in life.
Thank you for remembering the children during this special season of giving. May all the blessings of this joyous season be yours.
