25,000 to Fight Privatization

In the past week over 25,000 people have joined together through Americans United For Change to stop the privatization of Social Security. Earlier today, Jeremy Funk sent out the following message to our new volunteers:

Dear Friend, 

Last week you took a chance on us. You signed on to the latest round in the fight to protect Social Security from a guerilla attack by right-wing ideologues and corporate interests.

We won this fight before. In fact, we won it pretty overwhelmingly. Privatizing Social Security is now so unpopular that the Bush administration and its allies are gearing up to push it through under the radar of the public and the media.

Now we're going to win it again. You and 25,000 others have said that you're ready to mix it up and be part of an innovative nationwide grassroots effort to expose the effort to dismantle Social Security.

I can't get into all the details yet, but we'll be in touch soon with important and exciting opportunities for you to take direct action in this fight to protect Social Security.

I can give you one hint, though.

How do we beat back the guerilla campaign against Social Security?

One of our tools will be a gorilla campaign of our own:

Thanks for stepping up and getting in the fight.
