Help save Social Security: interviewees needed, make $10
 Edited on Thu Jan-06-11 10:53 PM by MannyGoldstein
A friend of mine who's a retired market researcher (ran a company for 20+ years) is mad as hell over the war against Social Security. So he's using what he's learned over years of researching products for Fortune 50 companies, and is turning it towards researching political issues. He's trying to figure out good messaging for helping folks to understand that Social Security is fine and should not be cut.

He's looking to interview a few people to test concepts around the language that should be used to fight back. Should be about 20-30 minutes of your time on the phone and in front of a computer. Only a token $10 for your time (he's actually doing this pro bono) but you'll be helping to fight back against the bad guys!

Send me a private message if you're interested.

Hey mods - I apologize if this is in the wrong forum. Please point me to the right one as needed.

They're always a day late and $10 short.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

Hey Manny, you idiot, cutting Social Security isn't even being discussed, the most anybody is talking about is a sloooooow and minor change in the eligibility age.  If your friend has that much money to blow, maybe he could just buy you all pizzas.

Scam.  His research buddy worked with Fortune "50" company's?  Even allowing for a typo, $10 won't buy much hooch.
