I got an email with a VERY long signature list at the end, and just had to write a response with the facts. Was it worth it? Who knows.
I'm sure you have seen this, another rehashed internet chain letter:
SOCIAL SECURITY CHANGESIt does not matter if you personally like or dislike Obama. You need to sign this petition and flood his e-mail box with e-mails that tell him that, even if the House passes this bill, he needs to veto it. It is already impossible to live on Social Security alone. If the government gives benefits to 'illegal' aliens who have never contributed, where does that leave those of us who have paid into Social Security all our working lives?
Given the real battles we're up against, I could not resist a reply, bcc'd to the list. You can read it here, below the orange cruller.
