The First Focus Campaign for Children places a priority on supporting legislators who stand by our nation's children. This ad recognizing our 2014 Champions for Children and Defenders of Children ran in the September 30, 2014, edition of Roll Call.

Capitol Hill was blanketed this Spring with ads urging Congress to protect Medicare HMOs. Our web ad uses humor to remind Congress that children's health faces real threats too. It ran on The Hill's Healthwatch blog in mid-April 2014.

Here are the facts about the Ayotte proposal to deny DREAMers the refundable Child Tax Credit:

• It would harm 1 million children who grew up in the United States and consider America home
• It would harm the youngest DREAMers, the very population both parties have sought to protect
• It would take an average of $1,800 out of the pockets of low-income families that pay their taxes
• It would drive more children into poverty at a time when child poverty is already at the highest level
• in decades

The facts are clear. A vote for this proposal is a vote to harm children.
