Preserve Social Security

Dear Friend,

President Bush is committed to keeping the promise of Social Security for today's seniors while strengthening Social Security for our children. In his State of the Union speech the President discussed his plan to save Social Security for younger workers by allowing them the choice to set aside portions of their salary in personal accounts so they can start creating their own nest egg for retirement. The Social Security benefits for those at or near retirement will not change.

Unless we act now, Social Security will be bankrupt by the time our children retire.

To help educate the public about the President's plan, the RNC this week launched a new Web site: www.preservingsocialsecurity.com. This Web site will provide up-to-date news, facts and ways for people to get involved in the debate.

Get involved now! Go to www.preservingsocialsecurity.com and sign an online petition asking your Senators to work with President Bush to preserve Social Security.

With your help we will preserve Social Security and make sure it is around for our children and grandchildren.

Sincerely,

Ken Mehlman
RNC Chairman

Thanks, I just sent this out to my email list with the title, "How to save Social Security for Working Americans under age 55.

[roaddog727]

Done

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks, we need to get this message out to our families, friends and people we know.

If a few thousand Freepers send this out, it will enable a lot of Americans to find out the real facts not rat lies/spin.

Done and copied the article to send to all my contacts.

This whole proposal raises questions that most are afraid to ask and many are afraid to answer.
What is the age distribution of folks waiting in line or actually collecting Social security, say from ages 55 through 110?
How will their continuing benefits be funded? How quickly will this group disappear?

How will allowing the younger to save 2% or even 5% really help them? That's a joke. Symbolism can't work in the real world.

[Protagoras]

The question is; why would anyone want to "save" something that is so totally ill conceived and administered?

[Protagoras]

How will allowing the younger to save 2% or even 5% really help them?

They will have 100% of the 5%. With the ponzi scheme, they have nothing.

I think that's a help.

[Publius6961]

Depends on your definition of "have"...

Good information on how to take action to reform social security. I'd like to offer another site as well which is dedicated to social security reform, www.generationstogether.net. If we want results in this area, we have to take action.
