Yarmuth Takes Pass on Protecting Social Security

The sole Democratic member of the Kentucky Congressional Delegation, a self-proclaimed progressive,  yet on the single most critical Democratic and Progressive issue of literally the century, "Congressman Awesome" runs and hides. 

For shame.

Yeah, yeah, the DCCC has issued orders to dems to keep quiet about Obama's plan to destroy the New Deal, but not everybody is electorally stupid enough to obey.

Down with Tyranny:

Who Will Protect Us From The Boehner-Obama Plan To Wreck Social Security?


Wondering who signed the Grayson Takano No Cuts letter, the one that says "We will vote against any and every cut to Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security benefits-- including raising the retirement age or cutting the cost of living adjustments that our constituents earned and need?" As of today, here's a list of signers:
Alan Grayson (D-FL) Mark Takano (D-CA) Joyce Beatty (D-OH) Corrine Brown (D-FL) Tony Cárdenas (D-CA) Matt Cartwright (D-PA) Kathy Castor (D-FL) David Cicilline (D-RI) William Lacy Clay (D-MO) Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO) John Conyers (D-MI) Elijah Cummings (D-MD) Peter DeFazio (D-OR) Keith Ellison (D-MN) Marcia Fudge (D-OH) Gene Green (D-TX) Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ) Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) Alcee Hastings (D-FL) Michael Honda (D-CA) Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) Ann Kirkpatrick (D-AZ) Barbara Lee (D-CA) Stephen Lynch (D-MA) Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) Ed Markey (D-MA) Jim McGovern (D-MA) Jerry Nadler (D-NY) Grace Napolitano (D-CA) Rick Nolan (D-MN) José Serrano (D-NY) Nydia Velázquez (D-NY) Maxine Waters (D-CA)
Hey, Kentucky repugs: if Obama's budget plays out the way it looks now, with dems taking the blame for killing Social Security and losing 50 seats in 2014 because of it,Yarmuth's Louisville district might be easy pickings.

If Congressman Awesome turns into Congressman Stupid.
