A Shout Out To Thom Hartman And Sen.Bernie Sanders About Social Security.....

I called in late to the show today near the end of Brunch With Bernie and was unable to get on. All I wanted to do was to tell Sen. Sanders there is a very effective and easy way to get the word out and get the support of the American People to "Raise The Cap" or "Lift The Cap". It is time to mount that campaign.

Please Thom and Bernie -- check out this link:

It explains an easy thing that we all can do and that is to take a picture of ourselves or friends or anybody for that matter - lifting their cap or raising their cap off their head. There are a number of examples at the link. And here's one for this post:



Then we need to Tweet or Facebook or use whatever social media outlet that we're used to and make those pictures go viral. We need to get them in the hands of our Senators and Representatives and let them know that they can't trick us into believing that the only way to fix SS is on the backs of the middle class, poor and the elderly.

The simple solution is to "Lift The Cap" or "Raise The Cap". We need to get this message out and I was hoping to use Brunch With Bernie to launch this campaign idea.

No need for an expensive ad agency or PR firm to do this. We The People can do this.

What do you think?

Please get the word out.

Think about it - 1000's of pictures of American People sending a message to Congress to "Lift or Raise The Cap".
