Fax DeLay, contact Republican legislators TODAY to save Social Security

Privatization = defunding Social Security. Help stop this crime! deepbluehawaii

Our representative Neil Abercrombie gave a great presentation tonight on what is going on in Washington and what we can do to help.

It comes down to this- privatization will not help with the
solvency problem, it will make it worse because we will have to
borrow money to make up the shortfall. As money is diverted into
private accounts that would otherwise be paying current
beneficiaries who contributed THEIR whole lives...it is a backdoor
plan to defund and destroy social security, period.

When asked what we could do about it, Rep Abercrombie said that this
is not a grassroots movement from the people but a top-down plan
from the extremists. He said that the rank and file republican
legislators are very nervous about losing in 06 because of this, and
the only leverage we have is to mount a serious effort to
communicate with Tom DeLay's office that we know what they are
trying to do and we will not have it. Anyone you know who has a
republican legislator, ask them to send a very clear message that we
will not let them take social security apart as they are now trying
to do.

He also said that we must make this clear to our governor as Lingle
communicates with the Admin, and if she feels heat she will let them
know that.

This is the only way we can stop this theft.

There are lots of other actions that will actually help the solvency
problem, which is not nearly as bad as it is being portrayed anyway.
Among these is increasing the cap on social security from the
90,000. now. Increasing the cap to 400,000. per year will solve the
problem 100%, even allow us to decrease the contribution of the rest
of us to 6%.
