McCain New Hampshire Social Security Event

Local Seniors
To Protest John McCain’s Plan To Privatize
Social Security
New Hampshire Alliance for Retired
Americans Tell McCain, Senators Gregg and
Sununu, “Hands Off My Social
Security”
For Immediate
Release
Concord, NH
– On the eve of Senator John McCain's visit
to Exeter, the New Hampshire Alliance for
Retired Americans will unite outside the
Concord Legislative Office Building to protest
his plan for Social Security privatization.
Local seniors will urge McCain and his Senate
colleagues John Sununu and Judd Gregg to keep
their “hands off my Social
Security.”
In an interview appearing
in the March 3 edition on The Wall Street
Journal, McCain said, “As part of Social
Security reform, I believe that private savings
accounts are a part of it -- along the lines
that President Bush proposed.”
The
proposal Senator McCain now favors is the same
Bush privatization plan rejected by the
American people in 2005 for jeopardizing the
economic security of current and future
retirees and ravaging guaranteed benefits for
seniors and the disabled.
“Under the
Bush-McCain scheme, our Social Security
benefits would be thrown to the whims of the
stock market,” said John Mendolusky,
President of the New Hampshire Alliance for
Retired Americans. “We get all the risk, but
Wall Street gets all the
reward.”
