Keeping the Dream Alive

We’ve been trying to get members of Congress on the record on whether they support Rep. Ryan’s plan to privatize Social Security and phase out Medicare. And while it’s pretty clear a lot of them like Ryan’s budget plan, it’s awfully difficult getting many Republicans to say one way or another whether they support it. But you can’t say that about Angela McGlowan, Republican candidate in Mississippi’s 1st congressional district.

She’s running to “fulfill President Bush’s vision for Social Security.”

I wonder if that’s going to catch on.
