Advocates of Social Security, New Priorities, Available for State of the Union Coverage
 
WASHINGTON - January 15 - News Advisory:

Progressive Analysis Available for State of the Union Address

Social Security:
Roger Hickey directs the New Century Alliance for Social Security, an alliance of leaders of women's, civil rights, labor, disability, senior and youth groups opposed to Social Security privatization. Hickey's expertise on the politics of the current Social Security debate will be valuable in analyzing any announcements the President will make on his plans for Social Security reform. Hickey is co-director and founder of the Campaign for America's Future and was one of the founders of the Economic Policy Institute, a Washington think tank that looks at economics from the point of view of working Americans.

Spending Priorities:
Robert Borosage has extensive experience in analyzing the politics of the budget with a focus on national budget priorities. When the President outlines his budget for the next year, Borosage will have a progressive perspective on proposed defense and domestic spending. Borosage is co-director and founder of the Campaign for America's Future and was the founder and director of the Campaign for New Priorities, a non-profit calling for reinvestment in America in the post-Cold War era.
------
The Campaign for America's Future (www.ourfuture.org) is a center for progressive research and education founded by over a hundred prominent Americans to make the economy work for working people. The Campaign is co-directed by Robert L. Borosage and Roger Hickey.
