So volunteer. Organize your neighbors. Despair is the direct effect of doing nothing.
MoveOn.org is planning a major push to protect Social Security benefits.
In an e-mail blast today, the liberal organization outlined its strategy: “Deep grassroots organizing: We’re going to organize MoveOn members in races to make sure those on the wrong side of the economy and Social Security hear about it everywhere they go…
Polling: We’re planning to poll in critical swing states and districts to show that voters don’t support conservative answers on the economy…
Ads: We’re going to work on a cutting-edge media program to push out the voices of those who are hurting most in this economy so Washington hears from them directly.”
And in related news, the House Ways & Means Committee is soliciting public input on Social Security. Go for it!
