Social Security Petition

Dear Working Families e-Activist:

wfean/button_ss_2
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:

www.unionvoice.org/campaign/ProtectSocialSecurity

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.

petition.
