"For progressives, the battle for Social Security represents a rare opportunity to stop the newly re-elected president dead in his tracks, to demonstrate the bankruptcy of his extreme conservative agenda, and to point to a new politics of "shared security" around which we can build a new majority for change. Winning won't be easy, but a powerful combination of progressive forcesónational organizations, political funders and philanthropists, policy experts, and grass-roots and online networks (including veterans of the 2004 elections)óare coming together."
