Buy Grandpa Gorilla a Banana

It's not easy being Grandpa Gorilla.

The costumes itch. The crowds are obnoxious. And these politicians won't answer our questions about privatizing Social Security!

But the look on Social Security privatizers' faces when Grandpa Gorilla shows up? Priceless.

Because no matter where Americans United For Change sends a gorilla, people pay attention -- crowds gather, the media shows up, and folks like you watch the aftermath.

But we need your help. It isn't easy being Grandpa Gorilla -- and it isn't easy to pay for him either. Costume rentals, audio equipment and props aren't cheap... but they're worth it.

Whether it's enough for a bowl of bananas ($7), a gorilla suit rental ($150) or even enough to secure a 50-foot inflatable Grandpa ($1,800), take a moment to help us out today:

We can't let politicians like Tricky Ricky Santorum run away from their pro-privatization positions -- and these events, as absurd as they are, get valuable local media and interest. The more people know about the President's proposal to dismantle Social Security, the harder they want to fight it.

President Bush tried to privatize Social Security last year, and we were there to stop him. He's planning to try again -- and we're going to be waiting.
