On Tuesday evening, March 29, 2005, Congressman Tom Price held the first in a series of three town-hall meetings in his 6th Congressional District.  Well over a hundred Cobb citizens showed up and unanimously told Cong. Price they did not want any form of Social Security Privatization. If this is any sign of the responses other members of Congress are receiving at their meetings, Social Security privatization is a DOA.

I was very proud of my fellow Cobb County Citizens in the 6th District for their very intelligent, articulate and surprising (to me) progressive stands on the issues.  I was also proud of the many members of East Cobb Democratic Alliance that spoke at the meeting.

However, we were not the only ones there who came out against privatization and in favor of progressive values.

How does that old song go by Bob Dylan, The Times, They are A-Changin?

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'.
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.
