Go Grassroots and help Obama decide?

[spedtr90]

So Obama is being urged by Geithner and others to cut social security. His political advisors are against it. Is it naive to think we can weigh in and help Obama decide and not fold once again? If people sent a simple post card to the White House with a heading HANDS OFF SOCIAL SECURITY and adding a few comments - Bernie Sanders is a great source - could actual humans, not "corporation/people "have some influence?

A postcard - not an e-mail. A physical representation of a vote. Hard to ignore. Thousands of them - millions?
If the only motivation is the 2012 election they need to be reminded we still matter.
What is the best way to get their attention?

"Social Security reform is splitting President Obama’s economic and political advisers. Obama is being pulled in opposite directions by those whose priorities are fiscal and those whose No. 1 concern is electoral...leading figures in the president’s economic team are pressing Obama to cut Social Security benefits if necessary....But Obama’s political team, led by David Axelrod, David Plouffe and Jim Messina, are urging the president to understand that backing benefit cuts could prove disastrous to his 2012 reelection hopes, sources say.
The political team is winning the argument so far, but internal debate rages at the White House."
