YOU DECIDE:

Scott McClellan: "We can debate words like crisis or not a crisis but you can't ignore the facts."
Markos: "Fact is, There Is No Crisis. And there is no projected crisis anytime in the near future. Or far future."

We have the momentum in the battle to save Social Security. The fact is:

100% of Senate Democrats are united
The media has realized that the Administration is faking it...and they are beginning to fairly call it for Social Security news.
The Administration is backing off, and we are escalating and BlogPAC is going to keep escalating

Today's briefing...

"Democrats support Social Security, the president supports private accounts. What is there to do but to find out where everyone stands?" -Josh Marshall

COALITION UNITING TO SAVE SOCIAL SECURITY
The VRWC has been gearing up for this battle for a long time, but -- armed with the truth -- people who care about Social Security are uniting:

100% of Senate Democrats are united

The DNC is asking for action

The AARP is "dead set against" privitization

The Campaign for America's Future is getting press

BlogPAC's save Social Security campaign is escalating (please take the poll)

Congressman Neal is telling his personal story of being raised on Social Security survivor benefits

MEDIA REPORTING THE TRUTH
Many in the media are beginning to report the truth: there is no crisis. This is spreading...they is tired of being taken advantage of by the Administration:

The San Jose Mercury News is demanding the Adminstration, "back off on its "crisis" rhetoric"

Robert Landauer in the Oregonian is calling it "the Big Lie"

The National Review is even debunking the "imminent-crisis rhetoric"

Republicans are seeking out the press to agree that there is "no crisis"

WE HAVE THEM ON THE RUN
The Administration's build up to the State of the Union has been counter-productive:

The Administration is flip-flopping on the manufacturing a "crisis"

House and Senate Republicans are running to distance themselves from the White House's "crisis"

Newt Gingrich is even debunking the "fake crisis"

The Administration is so desperate they are trying to "fake" bipartisanship by misrepresenting Clinton quotes on Social Security

Please post your ideas for State of the Union Rapid Response in the comments and come by our site at http://www.thereisnocrisis.com/adscripts and write ads for the fight. It is time to embarrass and humiliate -- we have the momentum and BlogPAC is the vehicle to push further.
