"There will be substantial opposition from Republicans, Democrats and millions of ordinary Americans once they realize what's involved," Gallegly told Reuters.

He's right. Wouldn't it be ironic if this is the first bill GWB vetoes?

Bush is hopeless on this issue - we need to call Congressmen where there is the most opposition to this thing - Don't Give Up!!!

Its all calculated...No one said Bush isnt smart. It is not going to go through congress. And look at the last line of the proposal. "CONGRESS" has to write the legislation. This is doomed before it even starts...

From the remarks I heard on talk shows dem's are all for this proposal and actually support it.
HUH? Why one has to ask?

Know what? As a Republican I can honestly say I do not support this proposal I am very much against it! Not that my opinion counts I guess.

Rintense, he won't have to veto it because it isn't likely to pass the House. In fact, it may never come to the floor for a vote since all House members face election every two years. The Dems won't want to sign on because they will complain it won't go far enough. Most Reps won't want to vote for it because they face defeat in their districts. The Senate is a different story. I don't know if there are enough strong, tough conservatives over there to stop such a bill.
