Please sign Reid's pledge to protect Social Security!!!

I received an email tonight asking to support this pledge.
Subject: Pledge to Protect Social Security

Dear Friend,

George Bush claims he wants to protect Social Security -- but pushing a privatization plan which cuts benefits and increases debt is a funny way of showing it.

Tomorrow I will begin a two-day tour holding Social Security Town Hall meetings in four cities. In New York, Philadelphia, Phoenix, and Las Vegas. Senators Durbin, Dorgan and I will have an open dialogue with people about Democrats commitment to strengthening Social Security and why the President's plan is wrong for America.

At every stop on our tour we will be asking people to sign our Pledge to Protect Social Security. This simple pledge lays out the reasons why George Bush's privatization plan is not the answer:


• It would cut Social Security¹s funding and weaken the program.
• It would cut benefits by one-third or more, even for those who choose not to risk their money in a privatized account.
• It would require even deeper benefit cuts for those who do choose a privatized account.
• It would require borrowing nearly $5 trillion, much of which from foreign countries like China and Japan.


Join Senate Democrats and sign our Social Security Pledge today:

Social Security is the most successful social program in the history of our country. It allows millions of seniors and people with disabilities to live independently and with dignity. It has reduced the poverty rate among seniors from about 50 percent to about 10 percent.

And in the event of an injury or death to a worker, Social Security provides a family safety net. At the time of greatest need, Social Security ensures that a husband or a wife does not have to cope with the prospect of poverty at the same time they cope with the loss of a loved one.

Democrats want to work with the President to strengthen Social Security. But we will never agree to Republican privatization plans that make Social Security's financial problems worse, while making deep cuts in benefits and forcing massive increases in debt.

I look forward to writing you again next week to let you know how our tour went and to share with you some of the stories I hear.

nt

but didn't have any luck, the wheel kept spinning for five minutes. I gave up.

I've also rebutted my GOP DC reps. As believers in the Christian faith, we do believe in being our brothers keepers. We do believe in sharing to help those less fortunate. It is the Christian way.

And BTW, Erika, you're awesome. That IS the TRUE Christian way. If only "Conservative Christians" could be so Christ-like, America would be a much safer, secure, and more prosperous nation.

Keep it :kick:'ed

Reid is fast becoming a hero in my estimation. He's taking on the wingnuts, Bush, and now Greenspan. Pure chutzpah.

One can only wonder what life would be like today if he had been the Majority Leader instead of Daschle.

GO HARRY GO DEMS......:bounce:
