Join Other Members of the Pennsylvania Alliance for Retired Americans

Speak Up at Senator Rick Santorum's Social Security Town Hall Meetings

Next week, February 21st - 25th,

Senator Santorum will be hitting the road working to convince Pennsylvanians that privatizing Social Security is in their best interest. But we know otherwise and have a responsibility to speak out. At a town hall meeting in your area, join other Alliance members as we ask Senator Santorum tough questions about his push to privatize Social Security.

Please help us reinforce the message that:
- Americans should not gamble what they cannot afford to lose.
- Benefit cuts are the centerpiece of President Bush's radical plan to destroy Social Security.
- Privatization will explode the deficit and saddle our children with $2 trillion in debt.

If you can attend or would like more information, please contact / RSVP to Dani Pere, State Coordinator, Alliance for Retired Americans at (717) 231-2866 or to dpere@retiredamericans.org

Thank You for Your Participation!

From SantorumWatch:  Just to let you know, after the anti-Bush Soc Sec press conference in Mont.Co., someone leaving saw the local police (Montgomeryville?) checking the license plates of the cars in the parking lot (of the Quality Inn).  I would suggest taking a camera to photograph any attempt to intimidate opponents, so we can post photos on the web.  Maybe the Santorum events will be run differently from the Bush event.  I hate sounding so paranoid, but I hated having my license plate run even more.
