George Bush hates children, and "In Prison," by Jean Valentine.

CNN.com's coverage of the October 3rd Bush veto of the State Child Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) bill
Bitch, Ph.D's list of House reps who voted against SCHIP, with links to contact information
Moms Rising's petition to overturn the SCHIP veto


In Prison

In prison
without being accused

or reach your family
or have a family         You have

conscience
heart trouble

asthma
manic-depressive

(we lost the baby)
no meds

no one
no window

black water
nail-scratched walls

your pure face turned away
embarrassed

you
who the earth was for.

        — Jean Valentine
from The New Yorker, May 28, 2007
