WASHINGTON, D.C. The AARP will launch a $5 million, two-week print campaign on Jan. 4 to oppose President George W. Bush’s proposal to establish private Social Security accounts, according to the lobbying group for Americans 50 and older.

The work, which will appear in more than 50 newspapers including The New York Times and USA Today, was created by the AARP’s current lead agency, GSD&M, an Omnicom Group shop in Austin, Texas. Ads proclaim that the Bush plan would, in fact, cause “Social Insecurity.”
