Social Security's 70th: "Cut the Cake, Not the Benefits!" Find an event in your state to celebrate Social Security's 70th birthday -- and to send a message that you're not going to let Congress dismantle this program!
http://www.americansforsocialsecurity.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=96&Itemid=165 There are hundreds of celebrations being planned for this weekend and the following week to celebrate the accomplishments of Social Security over the past 70 years -- accomplishments that include dramatically reducing elderly poverty, providing for workers and families living with disabilities, and lifting a million children out of poverty. This news article from the St. Petersburg Times illustrates some of the festivities and the types of activism under way -- including the delivery of birthday cakes with the message "cut the cake, not the benefits" to members of Congress who are considering private accounts plans for Social Security.
