Urge Congress: Oppose Social Security Privatization

It's easy to forget that policy affects real people. But NEA has not forgotten. NEA is opposing privatization of the Social Security system. Listen to NEA President Reg Weaver speak out on proposed changes to Social Security. Audio is offered in MP3 format. (2 minutes, 17 seconds)

The Administration has announced plans to seek changes to Social Security that would allow participants to invest funds in private accounts.

 NEA opposes this proposal.

Tell your Representative and Senators: Help protect real retirement security. Oppose Social Security privatization.
