If you haven't hear us folks at the Social Security Defenders group are organizing a tiny little #HandsOffSocialSecurity blogathon, March 25th thru the 29th. IF you like doing the Twitter and Facebook thing, I need a group of people to start publicizing the SSD blogathon for the next 10 days. I've got a start on the artwork, please share.
SO far our hashtags are #noSScuts #HandsOffSS #HandsoffSocialSecurity - but hey things evolve.
the avoce 2 graphics are perfect for facebook, to the pixel, they are sqaure. I aslo Have a real nice perfectly sized Facebook cover photo:
So any self respecting blogathon needs to have a couple of bigshots. So I contacted Howard Deans people...... and got turned down. So I decided to try to get his brother Jim Dean, and I scored, in fact I scored the Chair of DFA, plus the Executive Director Arshad Hasan, Arshad is the guy who organized the DFA political training programs. Arshad is going to publish his article on Tuesday March 26th at 3pm EST, while Jim will be publishing at 11am on Thursday.
Friday Morning at 11am EST Super noted Economist Uber Social Security Guru Dean Baker will be publishing, his emailed mentioned Productivity vs Demographics, you should check that out.
"#HandsOffMySS " Blogathon:March 25th thru March 29th, 2013
Diary Schedule - All Times Eastern Standard
IT IS TIME TO TAKE A STAND
Social security is a concept enshrined in Article 22 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which states that Everyone, as a member of society, has the right to social security.
A limited form of the Social Security program began, during President Franklin D. Roosevelt's first term, as a measure to implement "social insurance" during the Great Depression of the 1930s, when poverty rates among senior citizens exceeded 50 percent.
Let your voice be heard.
Members of the Daily Kos group Social Security Defenders have organized this bogathon to promote the truth about the financial condition of the Social Security trust fund, and the impacts of various so called reforms and fixes.
Understanding how benefits are calculated, the History of Social Security, where the Wisconsin Idea came from, and how over the years changes have been made to Social Security, all increase awareness and hopefully improve the discussion.
