See about reframing the debate folks and how it can be used... in letters to the editor, for instance.

To the Editor,

Let's speak plain English when we speak of the President's agenda.

When he speaks of Social Security Reform, he truly means Social Security Privatization.

When he speaks of Don't Leave no Child Behind, we are truly speaking of Privatization of the public school system and the creation of a two tier system.

When they speak of Tax Reform and getting rid of the present code, this is code for flat tax or Value Added, national sales tax, both incredibly regressive tax systems.

When he speaks of cutting the deficit by half, he means cutting all non essential services, in other words the social net. Moreover this is coming from the Credit Card party that has led the nation to HISTORIC Deficits, with no accountability.

Yet the destruction of the New Deal and her programs has been the goal of the conservative movement since 1932. They truly desire to go back to 1900, which they hold as an ideal view of the Country. If you were very rich, you never had it so good, admittedly. So do me and your readers a favor, stop using their code words and call a spade a spade. After all, Cheap Labor Conservatives need labor to be plentiful again and this is part of a wide spanning strategy to ensure the rise of a new feudalism.

Sincerely,

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
