Washington, Mar 9, 2005 - If you support strengthening Social Security with personal retirement accounts, then I want you to send me pictures of your kids and grandkids.

We need to put a face on this debate. We need to show the naysayers and those who advocate that we do nothing that there are real people who want real reform. If you want to strengthen Social Security with personal retirement accounts, then e-mail me pictures at SamJohnsonnewsletter@mail.house.gov.

The Social Security debate can get mind-numbing with numbers, facts and figures. The reality of the debate is that Social Security will be there for people born before 1950. This debate is about the future. This debate is about our kids and grandkids. We need to strengthen Social Security for future generations.


U.S. Rep. Sam Johnson represents most of Collin County. He delivered these remarks this week in a forum attended by more than 200 of his constituents. His Web site, www.samjohnson.house.gov, will include the photos sent to him as a display of "real people who want real reform."
