Susie has found a bunch of new supporters this week thanks to her latest ads running on your favorite weblogs. People are ready for a serious conversation about the need to insure all children in America, and discussions about Susie’s campaign and how we can spread that message have already started. We’ve already seen two posts on Daily Kos (here and here) talking about Susie (including one with a poll where the winning vote is that Susie would “absolutely” make a good president!)

Check out some of the comments left by Kos readers:

“Susie Flynn's campaign has the aura of inevitability, with her seeming lock on the parents' vote. Plus, she has that "fresh-face" outsider appeal.”

“I too couldn't tear my eyes away from the Susie ad.”

“Cute kid… She’s got my vote.”

“Seriously though, if we as adults want to screw up our own lives, that's one thing. But lets provide the best we can for our children. Vote Susie!”

As a few comments have noted, Susie is just beginning to reach wider audiences on the internet thanks to her latest ads. You can help further Susie’s campaign to ensure health care coverage for all 9 million children in America – email your Members of Congress and tell them they must expand and improve children's health coverage so that all children and pregnant women — not just some — are guaranteed comprehensive, easy-to-obtain health and mental health coverage.

If you think Susie’s campaign isn’t a serious matter, check out this video of Marc Bostic, a father of four whose job-ending injury left him- and his family- without health care coverage.

Marc’s kids are just four of the nine million children in America without health insurance coverage in America.  Their plight is real.  Luckily, a chance to help them could become a reality too.  This Father’s Day, help Marc Bostic and give a voice to all the fathers and uninsured children.

Did you happen to catch ABC World News on Sunday? They aired a story on the key issue of Susie’s campaign -- the nine million uninsured children in America. ABC told the story of four families’ efforts to get (and keep) health insurance for their children and the struggles they experience living without health insurance. The broadcast also featured Children's Defense Fund President (and Susie supporter) Marian Wright Edelman, who reminded viewers that the problem "not only costs lives of children and stress for families, but it also costs taxpayers money." Proving once again that health insurance for all children is not only the right thing to do, but the smart thing to do!

Watch ABC News’ report.

Check out this interview with Marian Wright Edelman, President of the Children’s Defense Fund (CDF).

ABC News’ report was actually the first in a four-part series, and if they’re continuing to talk about children’s health insurance needs, they’re continuing to support Susie for President! Post a comment on the ABC World News website about the show … then go to CDF’s website and write your Member of Congress to let them know that health insurance for all children this year is important to you!

Hey Susie supporters- we sent thousands of emails to Members of Congress around Mother’s Day asking them to enact the All Healthy Children Act. Congress must be listening because the All Healthy Children Act (HR 1688) now has over 50 House co-sponsors! (Just a few weeks ago it had 14.) Additionally, earlier this week, Senator Bernard Sanders (I-VT) announced that he will introduce the All Healthy Children Act in the Senate after Memorial Day.

I think that means Susie’s the only candidate for President who’s already accomplished one of her campaign goals!

Brian Williams: Approximately 100,000 children in South Carolina and nine million children nation-wide lack health insurance. And the problem is growing: Every 47 seconds, another baby is born uninsured in America. If elected, what specific steps would you take to ensure that all children get the health care they need to survive and thrive?

Susie Flynn: Many children have benefited from Medicaid and SCHIP over the years, but it’s time to cut through the red tape so that all children can get health care. We should create one program with easier ways to apply, including automatic enrollment and automatic renewal, so that children get covered and stay covered. Just because a child moves to a different state doesn’t mean the child should lose their health care. If the entire country was working with the same rules and through the same program, we could help all children to live healthy lives.
