                 SAY NO TO PRIVATIZING SOCIAL SECURITY

  (Mrs. McCARTHY asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mrs. McCARTHY. Mr. Speaker, with so many things going on here in the 
House, I think it is important to remind people a year ago Democrats, 
all Democrats from this House, went across the country to talk about 
why we needed to make sure that Social Security stayed the way it was. 
We are hearing rumors already that in January of 2007 that they are 
again going to try to attack Social Security.
  May I remind the American people how important Social Security is, 
not only to our seniors who need it to keep them out of poverty, but 
also to our widows who are taking care of children, for people with 
disability.
  Social Security is the one plan that has worked since it was 
conceived here in Congress. Democrats will protect it. I will fight for 
it. The American people have answered a year ago. We want Social 
Security.
  With everything that is going on here in the House, just remember, 
Democrats are keeping their eye on everything.
