Source of funding for SCHIP

Please read this link first- it sounds like a good cause for children's healthcare.
What they don't tell you is the source of funding, not taxes across the board,
no- only taxes on tobacco.
This is dishonest and deceiving.

This is a copy of the response I sent
after receiving this link in an e-mail.

Dear Breeana,

I am for universal healthcare for all,
including uninsured children.

However,I will not support any more legislation
that puts the burden of funding solely on the backs of tobacco users.

Yes, it is very easy to target smokers and others who use tobacco.

But that doesn't make it right.

Californians have had their tobacco taxes increase prices by 130%.
Enough is enough!
The last attempt to increase tobacco taxes in CA failed
to pass last November.
Maybe the voters are trying to say something here.

Everyone should be contributing to this healthcare initiate, not just one group
who is vilified.

Sincerely,

kwahlf

PS- The source of funding for this should be disclosed. Few, if any voters
know where this is coming from.
