Number 7: Zack Space will fight to protect Social Security.

"Earlier in this campaign, I pledged to not accept contributions from lobbyists as well as other perks like gifts, trips and meals, because we need to change the culture in Washington and put the people's interests ahead of the special interests. I also pledge to fight tooth and nail against the corporate interests and those in Congress who wish to privatize Social Security." - Zack Space

Throughout his career, Bob Ney has gone to great lengths to avoid taking a clear stand on this vital issue, but he owes it to working families to state in no uncertain terms whether or not he will protect their retirement security.

Where Does Bob Ney Stand?

• Rep. Bob Ney said he needed to see more details about Bush's Social Security plan before he could offer his full support. [Columbus Dispatch, 2/6/05]
  
  
• "Rep. Bob Ney... sees nothing wrong with individual retirement accounts to give people some control how the money is invested. Ney wouldn't let all of a person's Social Security money be invested in a private account, and he wouldn't let contributors spend any of the money until retirement. However, 'a small amount of individual control is only right,' Ney said. 'A small percentage is not going to hurt the collective whole.'" [Columbus Dispatch, 7/7/98]
  
  
• Ney said he was willing to consider individual accounts. He added that he did not want to cut benefits or change the retirement age. [Copley News Service, 2/11/05]
  
  
• Since 2000, Ney has taken $13,000 in campaign contributions from privatization point man Jim McCrery. [Source: Center for Responsive Politics, http://opensecrets.org]
