Sweet, it looks like the dems are FINALLY fucking FIGHTING on something!
From the above link:
"If you're interested in talking about the President's Social Security plan, listening to other people talk about it, or ask questions about it, you're looking at a mother lode today.
At 9:00 am ET, House Minority Leader Pelosi, House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-MD), House Democratic Caucus Chairman Robert Menendez (D-NJ) and Reps. Charles Rangel (D-NY) and Sander Levin (D-MI) slam President Bush's Social Security overhaul in a news conference.
At 9:30 am ET, Sens. Jon Corzine (D-NJ) and John Sununu (R-NH) join the New York Times' Paul Krugman and Cato's Stephen Moore to talk about Social Security at the National Press Club.
At 10:00 am ET, Democratic women Senators hold a news conference to talk about how and why they oppose the President's plan.
At 11:00 am ET, Senate Minority Leader Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV), Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) and others in the Senate Democratic Caucus "hold an event" to discuss their opposition to privatization of Social Security at the FDR Memorial. AP politely uses "hold an event" — what we hear they're going to do is hold a séance in an effort to invoke the memory of the late president who created Social Security.
The, uh, creative event will focus on how Bush's " privatization scheme " levies a "birth tax" on newborns and will detail how the Bush plan (whatever it is) allegedly increases the per capita debt each American owes by more than 100 percent.
At noon ET, AARP, Rock the Vote, and the Joint Center for Economic Studies hold a news conference to release a poll on attitudes of younger voters and minorities about Social Security.
At 1:00 pm ET, the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities holds a conference call on Social Security issues. Kenneth Apfel, former Social Security commissioner and now a professor in public affairs at the University of Texas, Robert Greenstein, executive director of CBPP; and Jason Furman, senior fellow at CBPP, participate.
At 2:00 pm ET, the Senate Special Committee on Aging holds a hearing called, "Social Security: Do We Have to Act Now?" Douglas Holtz-Eakin, director of the Congressional Budget Office; David Walker, comptroller general of General Accountability Office; John Rother, policy director of the Association of American Retired Persons; Bob Bixby, executive director of The Concord Coalition; and David John, research fellow the Heritage Foundation, testify."
Sick 'im boys!
Yee-haw!
