26. It is due to the huge opposition to the inclusion of these cuts to SS by

dozens of large organizations, like AARP, the Unions who joined forces with every Progressive organization in the county, and bombarded the Senate, both Repubs and Dems with calls threatening to turn their traditional support for party candidates into primary challenges to any Dem Senator (and Repub) who even considered voting for any deal that included this attack on SS.

If it has been withdrawn, then all our calls over the past several weeks were not in vain.

Shame the president gave any credibility at all to the notion that SS ever had anything to do with the deficit in the first place.

The people are serious and awake now, they were prepared to fight any attempt to touch that fund. AND they are now organizing to turn back the cuts already made, such as raising the age for SS etc. We were asleep for far too long, but not any more.

I hope this is true.
