MoveOn Heading to Bond’s Office

The web-based political action committee MoveOn.org will host a demonstration tomorrow at 4:00pm outside of Senator Kit Bond’s office at the corner of Hanley and Bonhomme.

MoveOn is organizing similar demonstrations outside of several Republican Senators’ offices across the country. The group hopes to encourage the Senators to override President George W. Bush’s veto of a children’s health care bill.

MoveOn says they need 15 Republicans to break from the President to override the veto.

UPDATE: The Washington Post has posted this breakdown of the House vote for the bill. All 197 Republicans that voted did so against the bill. 222 of the 223 Democrats who voted supported the bill. Heath Shuler of North Carolina was the Democrat’s sole dissenter.

According to the breakdown of the Senate vote, Kit Bond was one of the 18 Republicans who voted in favor of the bill.
