If you haven't heard the Social Security Defenders (SSD) group at DK is hosting a blogathon March 25-29. In an ideal world every Kossak would help me out promoting the blogathon, even Kos.
Heres the deal, SSD needs you to join the team, and get SSD some shares on FB and Twitter. This will help build awareness for the blogathon, and also build viability for the Issue. I couldn't have scheduled a better time in the middle of the Sequester and all the talk of cutting entitlements, and with Debt limit talks coming in late spring, its really a good time to push back and tell everyone in Washington DC that they need to create jobs, lots of them, and don't even think of touching Social Security or Medicare.
So grab these graphics off my Photobucket page, hit me up on twitter and lets have at it.

"Hands Off My Social Security"
I suggested that it had been a mistake to levy these taxes in the 1930’s when the social security program was originally adopted. FDR said, “I guess you’re right on the economics. They are politics all the way through. We put those pay roll contributions there so as to give the contributors a legal, moral, and political right to collect their pensions and their unemployment benefits. With those taxes in there, no damn politician can ever scrap my social security program. Those taxes aren’t a matter of economics, they’re straight politics.”
