- Time to Raise Hell About the Catfood Commission
- [Firedoglake - by Rayne]
More than 31,000 people signed our petition to Can the Catfood Commission. Sadly, the White House says that Alan Simpson will remain as co-chair of the President’s deficit commission.
Simpson says that Social Security is “like a milk cow with 310 million tits.” He and other members of the commission are determined to cut the deficit by slashing Social Security benefits.
The time to raise the red flags is now, before the November election. But many people who care very much about this issue don’t know what’s going on.
We want to micro-target likely voters in key districts with online ads, and let them know that now is the time to protect their future by raising hell.
Can you help us run these online ads and sound the alarm so Americans will know that the Catfood Commission wants to cut their Social Security benefits?

Oh, and I don't think I'll be turning the page any time soon on this one and this is why. [link] Trillions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of lives wasted and ruined for nothing doesn't seem like something to be swept under the rug.
