Dear Friend,

Rick Santorum may like monkeying with Social Security, but we're pretty sure he hates gorillas.

That's the only plausible explanation why the Senator refused to square off with Grandpa Gorilla at the Middletown Grange Fair last weekend.

Say what you want about the junior Senator from Pennsylvania, but Santorum isn't typically a guy to run away from a fight. When Rick believes in something, he doesn't hold back -- no matter how ridiculous he sounds.

And Rick Santorum really, really believes in Social Security privatization.

That's why we're puzzled as to why he avoided Grandpa Gorilla at the fair. Who could resist this face?




Unfortunately, Santorum was so determined to dodge the issue that Grandpa Gorilla, who isn't as mobile as he used to be (and requires deflation in order to move effectively), couldn't keep up. So Grandpa Gorilla manned the Americans United table -- where Pennsylvania voters could get the full story on Rick Santorum's privatization fantasies.

But hot on Santorum's trail was his more-mobile kin, Grandson Gorilla, to chase down the Senator. (Remember, it's not just seniors who want to protect Social Security -- young people have their retirement security at stake, too.)

Harassed by Santorum staffers, Grandson Gorilla just wanted Rick to answer one simple question: "Why are you running away?"

We've got video from the fair -- you can watch the play-by-play for yourself:

Last year, Rick toured Pennsylvania, touting Bush's plans for Social Security privatization. Back then, he said: "I've talked to the president a lot about this and he has made it clear to me that he's not going to let go of this... Obviously, I'm going to work this very hard because I think there's a lot at stake for future generations."

Rick was right -- there is a lot at stake for future generations. That's why Americans United sent Grandpa Gorilla to the fair.

If the Senator truly believes in Social Security privatization, he shouldn't be afraid to defend himself. And until he does, Americans United (and the Gorilla Family) will keep following Rick Santorum around Pennsylvania, telling him to not monkey with Social Security.

Rick Santorum may hate gorillas, but he's going to have to learn to live with them.
