On Social Security reform, Courage, and the AARP
Progress for America, the group that produced the "Ashley's Story" ad last fall, is running a new commercial titled "The Right Thing" promoting Social Security reform. The ad will run for the next 10 days on CNN and FOX.
This group also recently ran the ad “Courage”, on the same topic.
Courage is exactly the word for it. President Bush is the most courageous politician in recent memory for having the guts to touch the dreaded “third rail”, especially considering that he could just ignore the issue and pass it on to the next guy (or gal), as his predecessors have.
The AARP doesn't like it and is going to put up a full-court press against the President, but as this letter on a Just One Minute post indicates, the AARP certainly isn't speaking for all Boomers and Seniors.
And for those of us who like to think not only of ourselves, but of our children and their children, the AARP definitely is not an ally.
