Welcome!
Welcome to the Save Social Security blog. This blog was established to document exactly where each representative and senator in the 109th Congress stands on Social Security "privatization", a.k.a. Social Security abolition.
UPDATE: Josh Marshall has come up with a better system than this, so I've decided to shut this one down. Thanks to everyone who helped. I've been amazed at the level of support I've gotten, and the volume of e-mails, but I can no longer keep the site going alone. Thanks for your support.
How you can help
[+] (click the plus to expand)
1. Look up all of your Senators and Representatives
2a. Visit your legislator's website and see if they have an "issues" section. If they do, check if they specifically mention Social Security. If they are blatantly supporting privatization or are blatantly against it, we can assume they will support whatever bill goes to Congress.
2b. Call your Legislators, and find out if they are Strongly Against, Leaning Against, On the Fence, Leaning For, or Strongly For Social Security Privatization.
2c. Check mainstream media articles and see if any legislators are blatantly pro- or anti-privatization.
3. Send us your results via
E-Mail. Please use these
guidelines in composing your e-mail.
Your participation is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks for your time.

My letter to my Congressman (minus his name) is here. Your mileage may vary. A phone call produced a staffer eager to assure me that the (conservative Republican) Congressman wouldn't hurt SS or steal the trust fund. I want it in writing though.
Are you out of your mind?
Are you going to force young people to pay into a plan for 40 more years just to see it go bust at that point??
What kind of senseless, uncaring person are you?
