Black Lawmakers Oppose Bush Social Security Plan.
/Newsday
(2/9, Berry) reports that as Bush "launched his campaign last week to
sell his plan to overhaul Social Security, black members of Congress
vowed to counter his proposal, taking their message to town halls and
media outlets across the country. Bush and supporters of his plan have
tailored their pitch to blacks, contending that they are most likely to
benefit from the change. But lawmakers say blacks can't afford to
support a plan that puts their guaranteed retirement benefits at risk."
