1. So Much for 'Coming Together'
OpinionJournal's Brendan Miniter urges President Bush to reject
bipartisan compromise on Social Security: "…President Bush is left
with the reality that the only way to save Social Security is to
pursue a partisan bill, while continuing to take his message to the
people. By stirring up the voters, the president may get as many as
two dozen Democrats to come along in the House and the half dozen he
needs in the Senate. But he'll get that only if the doesn't cede
ground on the fundamental reform--large personal accounts, funded and
controlled by individuals. Partisanship gets a bad wrap, but
sometimes it's essential."

2. Is the Party of Jesse Helms, Trent Lott, Strom Thurmond, and other
people are planning to try to reach out to African Americans?
A new coalition of African-American churches – the High Impact
Leadership Coalition – is promoting the "Black Contract with
America." Focus on the Family describes it as "a biblical and
conservative stance on issues including the protection of marriage
and family, home and business ownership, education reform, prison
reform, health care and African relief."

3. RW'ers concerned that the middle and lower class will pay less
taxes
Many right-wing tax-cut enthusiasts, such as Grover Norquist and
Stephen Moore, don't like the idea that lower income Americans might
shoulder less tax burden and favor a flat tax instead. Moore, who
heads the Free Enterprise Fund, went so far as to say of the
progressive tax code: "When it comes to democracy, that's a dangerous
thing."

4. Focus on the Family - From Spongebob to Social Security
Focus on the Family has prepared a fact sheet, complete with links to
the Heritage Foundation and Cato Institute, for activists who have
questions about the President's Social Security reform plan.
