Seantor Harry Reid just sent me this message

[hermetic]

Dear Friend,

Senate Democrats are asking people to sign their Pledge to Protect Social Security. This simple pledge lays out the reasons why George Bush's privatization plan is not the answer:

• It would cut Social Security’s funding and weaken the program.

• It would cut benefits by one-third or more, even for those who choose not to risk their money in a privatized account.

• It would require even deeper benefit cuts for those who do choose a privatized account.

• It would require borrowing nearly $5 trillion, much of which from foreign countries like China and Japan.

Join me and sign our Social Security Pledge today. I did and you should too:

1. I keep signing all these petitions

but never hear about them being presented. Where is this going to go?

I'm happy to sign it, but worry it will put me on Reid's campaign donation list. Or, that's it's a hollow effort. :shrug:

2. The list of names will be used as 'ammunition'

Reid can say "see - I have all these signatures" when speaking to Congress. Much like the Count Every Vote Act (which you probably signed). :hi:
