Quotes

"The fight to protect our children from sexual predators has moved from the playground to the Internet. Many children who access the Internet in a safe environment -- such as their home or school -- forget that they are sharing personal information with complete strangers. By adopting this legislation, Congress would be able to provide websites with the tools to develop innovative solutions to protect children."

"The number of uninsured Americans reached 41 million in 2001 and continues to rise. However SCHIP is successfully reducing those numbers for one of the most vulnerable populations in our nation - our children. I hope the Senate will act expeditiously on this important legislation to return the funds that belong in SCHIP and to ensure that we are expanding, not reducing, the number of children covered through this innovative program."
