Welcome to the National Dialogue on Social Security. From April 19 through June 4, 1999, Information Renaissance in collaboration with Americans Discuss Social Security hosted a non-partisan electronic discussion and debate on Social Security reform. Using the power of the Internet, thousands of Americans participated in a national discussion with policy makers, experts and each other.
