For our Iowa Readers: Ask Mitt Romney Anything this Weekend

The Iowa Democratic Party is encouraging people to come out and meet Republican candidate Mitt Romney...and ask him about his support of Bush's plan to privatize Social Security:

Des Moines – This weekend, Iowans will get the chance to “Ask Mitt Anything” at events throughout the state. A week ago, Governor Romney praised George Bush’s plan to privatize social security, calling it “a big plus.” Iowans are encouraged to ask Romney about his plan for the future of social security.

“Apparently, Mitt Romney has forgotten that the idea of privatizing social security proved so unpopular that it was never brought up for a vote even when Republicans controlled the House and Senate,” said Carrie Giddins, Iowa Democratic Party Communications Director. “We hope that Iowans will ask why Romney supports privatization even after the plan was rejected by the American people.”

Romney Praised Bush Plan to Privatize Social Security. “Mitt Romney yesterday praised the notion of personal accounts for Social Security recipients, a key aspect of the Social Security reform plan of President Bush that never made it out of Congress. Romney said it would be a good idea to use the Social Security trust fund to allow personal accounts, which could earn higher rates of return for beneficiaries. ‘Personal accounts would be a big plus,’ Romney said.” [New Hampshire Union Leader, 6/7/07]
