Dear MoveOn member,
You can help save Social Security in Rochester this Tuesday.
On Tuesday, President Bush will visit Greece, New York to push his risky Social Security privatization scam that would cut benefits and explode the national debt.
The president's trip to the Congressional District of Republican Tom Reynolds shows that he needs to buck up support for his unpopular Social Security scam among his own base. But we can't yield an inch now, especially since the U.S. Congress is now drafting a Social Security bill. Any shift in momentum in favor of the president's privatization plan would be bad for Social Security.
MoveOn is working with the coalition fighting to protect Social Security, Americans United to Protect Social Security, to organize a Tuesday rally to voice opposition to the president's privatization scheme. You are invited to attend and join with local Members of Congress, senior citizens, students, union members, people of faith and others concerned about the future of Social Security.
WHAT: Rally to Protect Social Security from Privatization in Rochester
WHEN: Tuesday, May 24, 2005, 1:30 P.M.
WHERE: The Liberty Pole, near the corner of Main St. & East Ave. Rochester, NY (Rain Location: First Universalist Church, 150 S. Clinton Avenue, 4 blocks from the Liberty Pole)
RSVP ONLINE: www.americansforsocialsecurity |
Make sure you make some signs that show democrats were hell bent on changing social security in the 90's. We wouldn't want moveon to be telling everyone that President Bush was the first president to propose changes.
