Let Sen. Grassley know that you want to protect Social Security

Take action by   Friday, June 3, 2005

Senator Charles Grassley has scheduled a series of Town Hall meetings across Iowa between May 31st and June 1st. As chair of the Senate Finance Committee, Grassley will play a major role in creating and moving through any Social Security legislation put forth by the president. We are confident that before doing so, Senator Grassley will want to hear from you.

Please commit some time in the coming days to take action and send Senator Grassley a message that we need to protect Social Security. Here are three simple actions you can take today:

1) Call Senator Grassley’s office and let his staff know that you are opposed to private accounts. Senator Grassley’s office numbers are: Washington: 202-224-3744 Des Moines: 515-288-1145 Cedar Rapids: 319-363-6832 Council Bluffs: 712-322-7103 Davenport: 563-322-4331 Sioux City: 712-233-1860 Waterloo: 319-232-6657
