I think that dems need to encourage Al Gore to engage on the SS debate. Maybe a 30 second media spot that would read something like...
My fellow Americans, take a moment to think about one of the most sacred promises that our government has ever made - the promise of a safe and secure future with Social Security.
When Bill Clinton and I left office we had worked to keep that sacred promise by saving for the future of Social Security.
When I ran for President in 2000, I told the American people that I would keep this promise by putting our Social Security savings in a locked box free from government interference.
Since that time, President Bush has taken this money that we saved and used it to pay for his failures in Iraq.
Now he wants you to pay the rich in this country to provide for your future.
He's not keeping the promise of Social Security. He's not willing to admit his mistakes.
Call your Senators and Representatives. Tell them that you oppose the President's plan to break the sacred promise of Social Security.
Together, we can save our future and our children's future with the promise of Social Security.
