After a month of discussion, I’ve joined with several other bloggers and commenters to form a committee, if you will, to try to coordinate letter writing campaigns on important issues. So, I’ll be issuing Action Alerts on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, provided there is an Alert. As it happens, I’ve been having problems with Hotmail this week, so I’m posting Wednesday’s Action Alert today.</p.

We are asking that you write to AARP, and say the following:
1. That we are disappointed in AARP’s failure to oppose the administration’s “reform” of Social Security;

2. That we expect AARP to stand up to the administration and fight for their members;

3. Remind them that Social Security has provided a vital safety net for generations of aging Americans, and has kept many from an impoverished old age.</p.
