Mike Fitzpatrick: Put Social Security in Hands of Wall Street

New ad highlights former Congressman Fitzpatrick's attempts to privatize Social Security, how it would be devastating to seniors

(Bristol, PA) -- Patrick Murphy's campaign rolled out it's fourth TV ad highlighting Mike Fitzpatrick's attempts to privatize Social Security.

As Congressman, Fitzpatrick supported President Bush's risky scheme to hand seniors' Social Security to the same Wall Street traders who sank our economy. He also voted against a measure that would have ensured Social Security payroll taxes would not be diverted into private investment accounts. And at a recent forum, the former GOP Congressman continued his attack on Social Security, which he called a "broken" entitlement that no longer made sense economically, despite the thousands of Bucks County seniors who need those benefits to survive.[i]

Fitzpatrick seeks to privatize Social Security and Bucks County seniors can't afford that.
