letter to Pelosi, Feinstein & Boxer

To: Senator Barbara Boxer, Senator Dianne Feinstein, Representative Nancy Pelosi(strictly alphabetical, no bias or favoritism),

I am writing you to ask you to keep doing exactly what you have been doing with regard to this administration's attempts to destroy Social Security: Nothing but responding to lies with facts. Please do not offer any compromise. The Bush/Snow team is about to head out on a barnstorming trip to drum up support for this fiasco and I think we should do the following:

Address lies and misconceptions as soon as they crop up on the local TV/Radio stations in whichever market they appear.

Otherwise simply allow the administration to further spin its wheels. The more people learn about what this administration wants to do(as far as that means anything since they have no real proposal) the more they dislike it and for good reason.

The Social Security System is a successful and well run system that is infinitely preferable to investing these taxes in Mutual Funds which are not as successfully run and don't have near the record of stable growth.

Until this administration has offered a bill or other substantive document as to their actual plans, the minority party should do nothing. None of the ideas they have floated so far have been worth anything and I don't believe that they have anything but the utter destruction of Social Security and anything else that contributes to the dignity and security of the American people in their sights.

Nancy Pelosi's comments recently have struck straight to the point: The administration has underestimated the intelligence(or was it Wisdom?) of the American people when it comes to this issue. I appreciate that most Democrats have let the administration wear itself out to no avail, but I have started to see some start to offer compromises to what is a nothing so far. Let these people come to the table with a proposal and then shred it if it undermines the security which is the whole point of Social Security.

We can win this one with watchful, careful, mindful activity. There is no reason to address the foe on his own terms which are faulty, let him come to you.

Krome
