Majority Action mailer on Dole

A mailer criticizes U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole on Social Security.

Majority Action, a liberal 527 group, sent a mailer to North Carolina voters criticizing a plan Dole backed in 2002 to allow young workers to invest a portion of their Social Security contributions in personal savings accounts.

"Elizabeth Dole's plan to privatize our Social Security and invest it in the stock market is a real gamble these days," it says.

The mailer shows dice with the Social Security logo on them and the front page of The N&O from a day when the stock market plunged.

"$18.6 billion flows into the North Carolina economy from Social Security each year, supporting nearly 1.6 million residents," it reads inside. "Elizabeth Dole wants to eliminate that guarantee and risk our retirement in the stock market."
