Reid has a petition to sign--Pledge to Protect Social Security
I don't know if it has been posted elsewhere, but I know some of us don't go out there. This is a petition Harry Reid wants signed to voice opposition:

<<<Dear Friend,

Senate Democrats are asking people to sign their 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 Security’s 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 me and sign our Social Security Pledge today. I did and you should too:
