Take Action to Protect Social Security

Take Action to Protect Social Security Please click Link & sign Petition.

Dear Working Families e-Activist:

President George W. Bush, his Republican allies in Congress and
corporate chiefs are on an ideological trophy hunt to destroy
Social Security--the most important family security effort in
America's history. Their privatization plans to replace
guaranteed benefits with risky private accounts would fatally
undermine Social Security, cut benefits drastically, most likely
raise workers' retirement age--and saddle our children with $2
trillion in debt.

Now is the time to fight back.

There is no way we're going to yield an inch on Social Security.
No way, no how. To defend Social Security, we need to show
President Bush, congressional leaders and the media that
millions of Americans reject Social Security privatization and
its benefit cuts. That is why the AFL-CIO is launching a
petition to secure Social Security--one part of a multifaceted
campaign to protect Social Security. Please take a minute right
now to sign our petition by clicking on the link below:

http://www.unionvoice.org/ct/e715_k11qccz/

Our goal is to get 100,000 petition signers between now and Jan.
20--President Bush's Inauguration Day. Right now, Bush's allies
are raising millions for an election-style PR campaign, like
we've never seen, to privatize Social Security. They'll launch
it on America immediately following Bush's inauguration because
they want to dominate the message on Social Security.

Don't let them. It's urgent that after you sign the petition you
spread the word to your friends, family and co-workers. We need
as many people as possible to demand over the next two weeks
that we keep Social Security secure. Please click the following
link to urge others to sign the Social Security petition.

Bush's Social Security privatization plan would devastate
working families like ours--while handing billions of dollars to
rich Wall Street investment companies. We can't let it happen.

The fight to protect Social Security is really heating up.
Newspapers are reporting on a secret memo by a Bush
administration official to corporate special interests backing
privatization. The memo discusses a strategy to outright deceive
the public, privatize Social Security and cut benefits. Please
take action now.

Do your part for retirement security today by clicking on the
link below to sign our petition. We'll send you more alerts and
information over the coming weeks about ways you can make a
difference. Right now, we need a strong statement opposing these
destructive privatization plans. You can help provide it.
