Just got this from the NC Justice Center:

PLEASE CALL SENATOR KAY HAGAN, D-NC and ask her to vote for the SCHIP (State Children's    Health Insurance Program) reauthorization legislation.  Senator Hagan is a strong supporter of this program but we have learned that she is hearing from    many tobacco advocates in our state who are opposed to the increased tax on tobacco as a means of financing SCHIP.

You can read the following Progressive Pulse blog post on how North Carolina stands to gain more than $100 million in federal funding if children's health insurance is reauthorized.

You can call    Senator Kay Hagan at 202-224-6342 or visit her website to send her an email at Senator_Hagan@hagan.senate.gov.

What would be a real wow about this is that this is one of those things -- voting against SCHIP -- that made Liddy Dole so vulnerable.
