Deep divide marks Social Security debate
Democrats say president’s plan threatens safety net
The Associated Press
April 26, 2005
WASHINGTON - From the buttoned-down confines of a Senate hearing room to a boisterous outdoor rally nearby, Democrats took on President Bush and his Social Security proposals with gusto on Tuesday and rebuffed pleas for bipartisanship from frustrated Republicans.

NewsHello folks --

I am back ... this time to weigh-in on the Social Security debate.

Initiated by the San Francisco Gray Panthers, our new group is called the HANDS-OFF SOCIAL SECURITY COALITION and we are hoping that many of you will be willing to start chapters of this movement in your own communities ... of course, we will continue to do this as part of our SFA activities and use this website as an organizing / communication tool.

To date, our Coalition has organized three rallies in the San Francisco Financial District that have attracted good press coverage and community interest ... we have launched an on-going letter-writing campaign to Congress and the media ... and, we took part in a Townhall Meeting on Social Security held by the House Minority Leader / SF Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, on Thursday, Feb. 23rd.

But, as most of you know, in San Francisco, we are just preaching to the choir so we are ready to expand our mission to defeat the President's plan to radically change Social Security to a national effort ... that is why we so desperately need your help!

Our strategy is very simple based on a over-riding belief that President Bush is once-again trying to deceive the American people into believing in a crisis that doesn't exist ... our purpose is to insist that the Democrats stand firm against compromise on this issue, and we want to reach out to moderate Republicans who have reservations about Bush's plan, as well.

Because we strongly believe that there is NO crisis, and that there are more reasonable ways to address the long-term challenges the system faces, our message is equally simple:
