Save Social Security

One of the things President Bush outlined in his State of the Union address is the need to reform Social Security. I can't get over how many Democrats are so opposed to this. Most say that there's nothing wrong and SS will be fine for the next 50 years. Others say, well, there are problems but it's nothing critical and reforms or fixes can wait. I say, why wait? If all it needs are a few "fixes", and I don't believe for a minute that's all it will take, why not fix it now? Everyone knows that fixing something now is cheaper than fixing it later when all hell breaks loose.

In order to educate the public, the RNC has created a website, Preserving Social Security. There is a petition you can electronically sign that will be sent to your state representatives to encourage them to do what you want them to do. Here is a page where you can find the problems that we are facing, what GWB proposes to do to strengthen Social Security, and a section of Personal Retirement Accounts.

And, as an aside, is a link to their In Case You Missed It page. Could be rather interesting.

Go and look over the site. It's important to your future and future generations of Americans.
