Moveon agrees to slight change in Soc Sec ad

[papau]

A station in South Bend, Ind., with MoveOn's approval, added a statement to the ad that partially addressed the RNC's complaint. The station manager says he wasn't responding to the RNC's pressure, but to his own belief that the ad could be misleading.

The ad shows elderly actors working at a variety of jobs. A narrator says Bush's plan would cut retirees' Social Security benefits "up to 46%." It concludes that Bush's plan would force many Americans into "working" retirements.

The RNC's complaint: The 46% cut would apply to those who retire in the year 2075 or later, not current retirees. Also, in theory, Bush's plan to create investment accounts would give retirees a chance to make up for any benefit losses.
