On Tuesday, June 20, 2006 seniors with Americans United rallied together to protest the statement Congressman Jim McCrery said the previous week.
Americans United communication director Alex Morgan stated:
The federal government is trying to put their hands in people's pockets, Congress is just out of step with what the American people want.
In fact, Americans United are the ones who are out of step with the
American people. Representative McCrery did not make a call for
personal accounts, nor a call for any particular plan. Rep. McCrery
simply said we need to address this critical issue before it's too late.
Protesting against a member of Congress for calling attention to a
national fiscal crisis is not an activity that serves the best
interests of the American people.
