Bloggers taking on Social Security fight
The Blog Political Action Committee has launched a major online offensive exposing the manufactured Social Security "crisis".

BlogPAC, a collection of Democratic bloggers and blog readers, is joining the battle, with an online media campaign that refers to the attacks against Social Security's solvency as "fraud".

"Fact is, There Is No Crisis," said Markos Moulitsas. "And there is no projected crisis anytime in the near future. Or far future."

"We want to provide tools for citizens to engage in the political process on this critical issue," said Matt Stoller "President Bush's consistently fraudulent claims need to be rebutted by the American people, and that's what's going to happen with thereisnocrisis.com."

Chris Bowers promised bloggers would, "fight Bush's attempt to destroy the most successful program in the history of the United States."

The new website -- www.ThereIsNoCrisis.com -- gives "the netroots the tools necessary to protect the integrity of Social Security," according to Tim Tagaris. "The blogosphere has officially jumped into the mix."

2. Oooh. Thanks for this info. Just what I was aiming for
next. One of the three important issues in my book, along with developing alternative energy sources, and election reform.

Best to you.

5. All I get when I click on the link is a blank pink page with horizontal i
pink lines. No up and down, no sideways option. No print. No nothing.

Any suggestions?
