Thanks for signing on to our PrivatizeThis! Social Security campaign — we wanted to give you a special heads up about what we're doing for the fight.

Recently, we launched GOPCaughtonTape.com, a website devoted to exposing House GOP Flip-Floppers on Social Security privatization. We've culled the TV campaign ads of vulnerable Republicans who pledged not to cut benefits or privatize Social Security during the elections but now support Bush's plan that would slash guaranteed benefits by up to 45 percent. We've sent it to the press, and now we're sending it to our supporters in those members' districts to make sure everybody knows the kind of deceptive politics they are engaged in, putting partisanship and ideology ahead of their constituents - and their own past promises.

Our Chair, Rahm Emanuel said it best:

"Many House Republicans supporting President Bush's privatization plan are in for a rendezvous with their records - they can't hide from their televised vows not to cut benefits or privatize Social Security. When these Republicans said 'no cuts in benefits,' they were pledging to voters never to back a plan that replaces Social Security's guaranteed benefits with a guaranteed fee for Wall Street. Many Republicans are on-record and on-tape pledging not to cut benefits - we'll be watching to see if they keep their word."
Our campaign has already received a blitz of press coverage from outlets including the Associated Press, CNN, and the Washington Times just to name a few. We will keep fighting to protect Social Security no matter what, but we ask you to consider investing in the fight by becoming a monthly sustainer donor for the DCCC. Join thousands of others in donating even a small amount each month - $5 goes further than you think - and take a stake in your party and the fight to protect Social Security. And of course, thanks in advance from all of us here at the DCCC.

:) The only right-winger I know of who isn't for Bush's SS plan is Joe Scarborough. Last night on his show I watched a bit of it and he had some guy on there from "Rock the Vote" because they were having a rally on Bush's SS plan and stuff and at the end of the little segment Scarborough came out and said he wasn't for it because it would cost two trillion dollars. The "Rock the Vote" was against the SS plan. On MTV they had a poll around the election (pretty close before it) and Kerry won overwhelmingly. :)
