QUOTE: Originally posted by gfjwilmde this rumour I heard today. While I was in New York, I took a trip out to Long Island to pay my respects to my father. I then went to Brooklyn, NY to check in on my mother. While on the LIRR, I was talking to two conductors about job opening and whether they pay into railroad retirement like some of us do. They informed me that they heard or seen on the news that Bush plans to end railroad retirement and funnel all our money into the social security system. If this is true, then I implore all you, "RAILROADERS", to now stand up against this regime and demand of your representative to squa***his. NOW IS THE TIME FOR US TO TAKE THE NECESSARY ACTIONS TO THWART THIS IDIOT'S IDIOLOGIES AND THOSE OF HIS CORPERATE HENCHMEN!!!!!!!!!! Our future is at stake and if that's not worth fighting for, then you get what you deserve. I can remember when Bush Sr. downsized the military and I got caught up in it. I can remember sleeping in my car as I traveled up and down the east coast looking for work. Until, that day I started working for Amtrak and I never wanted to experience that again. If this knucklhead is allowed to take our only means (for some of us) of having anything to retire with when we leave the railroad, we may not even have a car to sleep in. WAKE UP PEOPLE AND REGONIZE THE "R E A L" ENEMY OF OUR UNITED STATES AND THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE!!! Glenn A R E A L RAILROADER....A D I S S A P P O I N T E D AMERICAN!!!!
