We're winning the battle to save Social Security. Big Time. Let's keep it up:

Go download our podcast and make sure you're educated on the ins and outs of the privateers plans.

Host a House Party for the State of the Union. We need to own the Rapid Response like we did following the first debate.

This is the week that the battle to save Social Security explodes. Let's keep up our momentum.

This is the "make or break" issue for the future of the Democratic Party. From the NYT:

With the White House and Congress firmly in Republican hands, Social Security has emerged as a make-or-break issue for Democrats, who see confronting the president as politically crucial.

If they can convince Americans that Mr. Bush is trying to dismantle the 70-year-old program, they will have a rallying cry to re-energize them after their bruising losses in November. A victory on Social Security would embolden them to challenge the White House on other issues, like the president's effort to cap jury awards in medical malpractice cases. And they would be strengthened for 2006 and the midterm elections, when the party in power typically loses seats.

Local papers are trashing Bush, Republicans are jumping ship, and we have the mo'.

Time to throw the anvil.
