Keep Bush's Paws Off Your Future: Save Social Security
I sent this letter to Senator Mark Dayton (D-MN). Feel free to send it, or variants thereof, to your Senators (contact information below). If we act NOW, and in force, we can stop this in its tracks. We must let Congress know that we will not tolerate this. ----------
Dear Senator Dayton: Please stand up to Bush's lies about Social Security. As both the CBO and the Social Security Trustees' Report state, the Social Security program is in very good shape for decades to come, and only needs a minor cash infusion equal to a .5% raise in the FICA -- the equivalent of about $8 every two weeks for most workers -- now to keep it safe forever. But Bush, of course, wants to kill it, dismember it and hand out the bloody pieces to his brokerage-firm buddies. Worse, he wants to borrow $3 trillion to do it, at a time when our economy is groaning so much under Bush's deficit spending that the Chinese investors propping it up are being to mutiny. Please, for the good of our country, come out now and oppose this reckless nonsense, which is so unwise it borders on treason.------------- Persons to Contact: Senate (General): http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm pages@daschle.senate.gov House (General): http://www.house.gov/house/MemberWWW.shmtl And of course, don't forget to contact the Usual Media Suspects: letters@nytimes.com letters@washpost.com editor@usatoday.com letters@latimes.com hardball@msnbc.com mtp@nbc.com
