Social Security Activism from Union Voice - Sign your letter

[FormerRepublican]

I received an email from Union Voice regarding actions Congress will be taking on Social Security when they come back from vacation. An exerpt:

"If we convince enough members of Congress to sign the pledge,
President Bush's plan to privatize Social Security won't stand a
chance. It won't be easy, but together we can do this.

When Congress gets back to work in September, the push for
private accounts will begin quickly with the House Ways and
Means Committee taking up H.R. 3304, a bill by Rep. Jim McCrery
(R-La.) that privatization proponents claim is a new idea to
stop the "raiding" of Social Security by Congress.

Wrong! The McCrery bill is the first step toward President
Bush's plan to privatize and ruin Social Security--and nothing
more. It creates private accounts, cuts guaranteed benefits,
increases the national debt--and does absolutely nothing to stop
the raids on the Social Security surplus or keep the program
solvent.

Our members of Congress need to STRENGTHEN Social
Security--America's most successful family security program--not
privatize it. Click on the link below now to urge them to pledge
to oppose Social Security privatization:

Sign the your letter now to tell these whacks that we don't want them gutting Social Security to hand a present to the fat cats, while they add trillions of dollars in federal debt. Grr - these guys just don't quit - even when the public is ADAMANTLY opposed!
