SSI Opposition Organizing Project (easy)
This pretty well sums up my idea. I'll make sure I've got a page that lists all the groups and campaigns we come up with. And I suppose we could put our collection in Demopedia too, maybe there's already a section or project on this. If so, maybe someone would be so kind as to point me to it. I'm aware of Privatize This, There Is No Crisis, and the DNC letter writing campaign.

"Just last night I posted the AFL-CIO SSI Campaign to pressure Edward D. Jones to admit to the money they stand to gain on privatization. It appears their campaign worked, although I'm going to leave the links for a while, just to make sure! Next step is exposing this "Alliance for Worker Retirement Security" so people know who is blowing smoke so they can move their ass. It also seems to me that this is another example of where the Democratic Party activists fail miserably. We all should have known about this campaign and the union "rallies". I love how the union "stages rallies" while other groups have "dissident protests". Anyway, I had planned to make a post for everybody to help gather all the groups against privatization, so I may as well start it off here. That idea came when reading a Farmer's Union letter where their President was sure to include the fact that they had 117 groups opposing the budget cuts. How many groups do we have opposing privatization? No clue and we need to get one in a hurry."

2. Thank you
Maybe it was the wrong day to post this. I've never been known for my timing.
