WASHINGTON – Privatization opponents in the Social Security debate have tried to pressure members of Congress by following them in waffle and duck costumes. Now supporters of private investment accounts are preparing a Capitol Hill snow job.

Dozens of college students who support the accounts plan to spend this afternoon lobbying members of the Senate Finance Committee – after a news conference staged amid imported snow and ice sculptures in the summer haze hanging over the capital.

“The imagery has multiple meanings,” said Jonathan Swanson, a Yale University senior who co-founded Students for Saving Social Security.

“It can mean, ‘Our future melting away,’ or, ‘Congress is giving us the cold shoulder,’ or, ‘Congress is freezing us out of the debate,’ or anything else catchy you can think of.”
