McCotter continued his efforts to be included in the debates in September.[citation needed] On September 9, McCotter made his last campaign trip to New Hampshire, attending events for two days.[1] He was supposed to appear in Iowa again five days later, but had to cancel due to a vote in Congress.[2] While in Washington, he introduced a Grover Norquist-backed Social Security reform plan, which would have created private accounts for those under 50 years of age with limited guaranteed government benefits. He called on the other GOP presidential candidates to release their plans on Social Security.[52] Shortly thereafter, McCotter participated in the California Republican Convention.
