The Alliance for Retired Americans is carrying one million messages against social security privatization through 20 congressional districts. At every stop along the way local senior citizen’s will take the “Don’t Privatize Social Security” petitions to local offices of members of Congress. The trip opposing social security privatization ends April 1st in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The petitions are being carried on a flatbed truck and will have traveled 3,000 miles by April 1st. Stops include Fort Lauderdale, Florida, North Carolina, Indiana, Ohio, New York and Pennsylvania. The Alliance for Retired Americans is a grassroots group representing more than three million seniors and retirees. The group’s president, George Kourpias says seniors can’t trust anyone who claims social security benefits are safe under privatization. He says the fight is to preserve social security for all generations, including the grandchildren of today’s seniors.
