In today's New York Times,  this ad appears on p. A14 and 15. As a signatory of an open letter to the Presidential candidates and the American people, S4 co-founder Patrick Wetherille joins former government officials and grassroots organizations in calling attention to our country's growing fiscal crisis and its implications for future generations.

Our Social Security system deserves a straightforward debate and candid discussion among our elected leaders. We need to change the way our country saves; transform the way Americans view retirement; and provide the opportunity for all income classes to accumulate wealth within the Social Security system. Through the efforts of S4 and our partners, like the Peterson Foundation, we are redefining the Social Security debate in this country in order to include the voices of those of us with the most at stake: America's younger workers and future generations.
