Protest Now! Dubya's SS "Bamboozlepalooza" Tour of ND, MT, NE, AR & FL!

[flpoljunkie]

Tonight during the State of the Union address to Congress and the American people, President Bush will announce his plan to dismantle the most successful poverty elimination program in American history.


He'll tell you Social Security is in crisis and that he's letting you invest your own money.

But here is what he will not tell you:

America's Social Security system will be solvent until 2053

His proposal will cause the average 20-year-old worker to lose $152,000 in retirement benefits

Privatizing social security really means billions of dollars in the pockets of Wall Street tycoons

The next 72 hours of the fight to protect Social Security are critical!


Tomorrow President Bush will launch a two day, five-state tour, to promote his plan with stops in North Dakota, Montana, Nebraska, Arkansas and Florida. Rallies will be held at each of the President's stops to protest this reckless plan.


Please take an hour out of your day to attend the rally listed below and stand up and fight to protect Social Security.
