Aw shucks, W needs my help.
Dear (Contrary1),

"...President Bush is committed to keeping the promise of Social Security for today's seniors while strengthening Social Security for our children. In his State of the Union speech speech the President discussed his plan to save Social Security for younger workers by allowing them the choice to set aside portions of their salary in personal accounts so they can start creating their own nest egg for retirement. The Social Security benefits for those at or near retirement will not change.

Unless we act now, Social Security will be bankrupt by the time our children retire.

To help educate the public about the President's plan, the RNC this week launched a new Web site: www.preservingsocialsecurity.com. This Web site will provide up-to-date news, facts and ways for people to get involved in the debate.

Get involved now! Go to www.preservingsocialsecurity.com and sign an online petition asking your Senators to work with President Bush to preserve Social Security. With your help we will preserve Social Security and make sure it is around for our children and grandchildren."

I concur! Let's get involved now.

Bottom left, click on the drop down box for your state. Since it is an online petition in favor of the Dim Son's plan, I suggest we write a short note in the area for "Address 2". Something like "I will remember how you vote" or "I don't want this" or "Stop the lies now"...you get the idea. Please keep it clean though; this is a serious issue, and we should be taken seriously.

1. A pseudonym can be used instead of your real name.
George Is Smokingcrack does nicely, just in case the address block is just to pad their mailing list, and not to send to the Senators.

2. Why not go to a real petition instead? Don't buy into this GOP site
