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!

ABC News
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!
