Our Summer Vacation acation
by Norm Steenstra, norm@wvcag.org
Its been 3 months since our last newsletter and youve
probably figured no news means no news. NOT! I cant recall
a busier time atWV-CAG than the last 3 months. Protecting
Social Security from Bushs scheme to privatize it has been a
major focus.Weve been working with CAG-like groups in 27
other states to defeat the presidents pet project. So far the
public has heard the message and the president has started to
distance himself from the plan. Our Social Security team, led
by Gary Zuckett and ably assisted by Marge Michau andTed
Boettner, coordinated more than 40 events across the state
ranging from public forums to greeting the president in
Parkersburg, and hosting 11 birthday parties (see pg. 3).They
also met with a very reluctant Congresswoman Capito.
