Tell Congress: Sign the Pledge to Strengthen Social Security.
Sink Privatization Now
Urge Congress to Sign Pledge Now!
President Bush’s plan to privatize Social Security would slash guaranteed retirement benefits, explode the federal deficit, open Social Security up to political corruption and make working families' retirement problems worse, not better. Even the president admits privatizing Social Security won’t solve anything.
Your members of Congress are getting lobbied big time by the White House and rich Wall Street groups that would make billions managing privatized Social Security accounts. They’ve got to hear—now—that the people they represent demand they oppose Social Security privatization.
Urge your members of Congress to sign the pledge today.

Subject: Sign Pledge to Strengthen Social Security
Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,
I urge you to sign the Pledge to Strengthen Social Security and to oppose privatization proposals that cut guaranteed benefits and weaken the economy:
I pledge to the people of my state and to the American people that I will work to strengthen retirement security, including Social Security.
I will oppose Social Security privatization proposals that would:
1. Require cuts in guaranteed benefits to pay for private accounts.
2. Weaken the system by diverting money from the Social Security Trust Fund to pay for private accounts.
3. Increase the federal deficit to pay for private accounts.
4. Increase the retirement age to pay for private accounts.
Signature:
