Mike Erlandson: Social Security Action
02/02/2005
Dear DFL Friends,
I am writing today to ask you to join one of the most important campaigns Democrats must win across the country – a campaign to Save Social Security. All it takes for you to be a part of our campaign is three phone calls and one click on your computer - TODAY!
Curious? Want to get involved? Read on!
Background:
Today, President George W. Bush will deliver his State of the Union Address and is expected to discuss his plan for privatizing Social Security. For the past two months, the Bush Administration has openly discussed plans to privatize Social Security, and has even announced a multi-million dollar public-relations campaign to mislead Americans into thinking Social Security is in crisis and that privatization is our way out. If Bush succeeds, he will destroy Social Security.
Take Action on February 2nd:
Join other concerned citizens in a “Don’t Gamble our Social Security” Campaign. Today, on the day of Bush’s State of the Union, DFLers from all over the state will call George Bush’s top followers in Minnesota’s Congressional Delegation and ask them to “just say no” to Bush’s risky plan to privatize Social Security. Below are the four action steps we’re asking you to take!
1. Call Congressman Gil Gutknecht today and tell him not to gamble our Social Security on risky privatization schemes. Call Gutknecht’s office at 202.225.2472 or 800.862.8632. Gutknecht votes with Bush 84% of the time and has said he supports privatizing Social Security.

3. Call Senator Norm Coleman today and tell him not to gamble our Social Security on risky privatization schemes. Call Coleman’s office at 800-642-6041. Norm Coleman votes with Bush 92% of the time and has said he fully supports privatizing Social Security.
4. Call George Bush and tell him not to gamble our Social Security on risky privatization schemes. Call Bush at 202-456-1111 or 202-456-6213.
