The Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania's Factcheck.org has given one of the prominent opponents of reform -- or disbelievers in the truth about Social Security -- Americans United, an award.   They recognized Americans United's Hot Dog ad for their "No Calorie Award," as the ad made the ridiculous claim that George Bush was going to take half of Grandma's hot dog.    This is what the non-partisan group said about the ad: "This 15-second ad from a liberal group funded by labor unions takes the cake (so to speak) for lack of substance." 

This is the same group formerly known as Americans United to Save Social Security that had a rigged Social Security Reform Calculator on their website.  Factcheck.org called it a "artful bit of automated misinformation."

Young Americans and old Americans alike need real debate -- not rhetoric and not scare attacks.  We need debate that is full of substance, not the typical relish of groups like Americans United.
