"Happy Birthday Social Security"

Just after his inauguration, the President began touring the country speaking about his plans to reform Social Security. This was the latest GOP attempt to scale back manditory contributions to this program, and given a chance to think about it, most Americans decided the program works well enough for people they know to leave it alone.

Last Sunday (the 14th) was the 70th anniversay of the establishment of Social Security and the Democrats threw a party! (Google has over 5,000 references.) There were cards to send your friends, events to attend, and speeches to listen to. Locally, I know of several parties that happened at senior centers.

I give this frame an A. Here's why:

• Positive energy on a Democratic issue. Understanding issues is important, but there's more to life than thinking about bad stuff happening.
  
• Connect people to family and community. This is really the Dems strong suit. The more we can connect people to the human family the more our positions make sense.
  

Suggestions for improvement:
My only suggestion is, "More"!
