[Peace-discuss] [CentralILJwJ] pressuring Durbin on Social Security - Springfield road trip?

[David Johnson]

Bob,

Sorry for a late response, but DEFINITELY count me in !

I know there are so many issues of injustice, etc, all around us, but this threat to Social Security and Medicare is in crisis stage and effects 90 % of the population.
WE must act NOW !

In my opinion this is THE issue that has the potential to get normaly apolitical / unactive people interested and mobilized.

Who else will help Bob and I organize this ?
If anyone world rather respond to me off list, please call me anytime at

  It seems to me that if we are going to crush the President's proposal to cut Social Security and veterans' benefits by means of the chained CPI, Durbin is key.


  What do people think of the idea of taking a rowdy delegation to Durbin's office in Springfield?


  Perhaps we could gather some friends from Springfield, Decatur, Bloomington, etc.


  Key logistical hurdles: 1) we'd have to go on a weekday and 2) it's an hour and a half away.



  What do folks think? Who would be into doing this? Who could go? Who would help organize?
