Summary


MASSAPEQUA, N.Y., June 3 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Today, concern over the future of Social Security drew AARP members to Long Island for an AARP Social Security town hall forum in Massapequa, N.Y. At the forum, AARP leaders focused on the facts about Social Security's solvency and discussed how current proposals to "means test" and create private accounts by taking money out of the program will cut guaranteed benefits, create a mountain of debt and pass the bill to future generations.

Today's town hall is part of AARP's aggressive campaign to educate the public about proposed changes to Social Security and urge Congress to focus Social Security reform on workable solutions, rather than proposals that will weaken the program. Last week, AARP launched a statewide petition drive encouraging its 2.6 million New York members to send postcards letting their members of Congress know they don't want Social Security to turn into Social In- Security with proposals such as private "carve out" account and "means testing" that will destroy the program.
