Watch Harry Reid's Digital "Fireside chat"...he met with 2 supporters
and sat down with them and had a chat about Social Security. This is so cool! Go Harry! :bounce: From an email....

Dear Friend,

Sixty years ago today one of our greatest Presidents Franklin Roosevelt passed away.

During his presidency, Franklin Roosevelt held a series of thirty radio talks known as "fireside chats" explaining his policies and programs to the American people. First delivered on March 12, 1933, the chats covered a range of subjects from wartime policies to the development of programs like Social Security. These chats created a new sense of transparency and communication between the American people and their government.

In honor of Franklin Roosevelt, today I held my own "fireside chat" where I listened to the concerns of our two participants about the Bush Social Security privatization plan and shared my views on the most successful social program in history. Just as radio was the new technology of Roosevelt?s today I am using the Internet to deliver this fireside chat.

Watch my fireside chat by visiting:

Thank you,

Harry Reid

1. The young man he's talking to had $17,000 in stocks lost $8,000!!
He's not very fond of the new Privitization of Social Security. I didn't catch his age. He looks to be 30 something? Maybe?
