- right below the offices of Americans United to Protect Social Security
- here he is speaking to members of the staff in his socks.
Between 35-50 people from Americans United and the Campaign for Americas Future demonstrated against and spoke to Frist who said he support the President's plan which includes privatization and middle class benefit cuts.
Story from Americans United to Protect Social Security:
And it grew to 50-60 people - 6 DC police cars showed up, one gave Frist's SUV a ticket
- he spoke to our folks for a while - said he supports the president's plan - it was a cordial exchange for the most part - it ended with a big part of the group chanting Senator Frist don't privatize.
- get this - he double parked and held up traffic, got ticketed, got protested - and all this to buy two pairs of shoes from Allen-Edmonds
- one pair cost $235 and the other was $295. He agreed with one of our staff members that privatization was not a solution for solvency.
Senator Frist is blocking traffic to buy $530 worth of shoes and he wants to cut SS benefits for the middle class - come on.
Thanks to Kevin Spidel of Progressive Democrats of America sending me an IM with the story and photos.
