Resolution on Social Security as adopted by Clark County Democratic Party Central Committee.

Date: February 14, 2005.

1) We hereby resolve not to endorse, work for or support financially any Democratic candidate who expresses support, advocates or votes for any form of privatization, or other language meaning the same thing as privatization, of the Social Security Program.

2) We hereby resolve that the Secretary to the Committee communicate with Senators Murray and Cantwell and Representative Baird, the strong desire of this Committee, that they make a strong written appeal to the Congressional Democratic leadership that Congressional Democrats take a united stand energetically opposing privatization of the Social Security System.

3) We hereby resolve that the Secretary of the Committee further communicates to Senators Murray and Cantwell and Representative Baird, the necessity for such a united stand so as to deprive Congressional Republicans of any political benefit afforded by the appearance of bipartisanship in relation to changes, of the character described above, to the Social Security Program.

4) We hereby resolve that the Secretary of the Committee communicates with all the other Central Committees in the State of Washington and the Chairmen or Chairwomen of the Democratic Parties in all the other forty-nine states to inform them of our resolutions relating to Social Security passed today by this Committee.
