You may have heard that yesterday President Obama made an offer to Republican John Boehner to cut Social Security benefits and leave in place some of the Bush tax cuts for the top 2%. It is already difficult to make ends meet and provide for our daily needs. This is not the place to compromise. The good news is that many senators, including Senate Leader Harry Reid, have promised to oppose Social Security cuts in any deficit reduction package. If they hear from enough of their constituents, we can still get the Senate to reject this proposal and protect Social Security.

I will be forced to give up my home if the cuts are enforced.

Retired workers are on limited income, social security is the largest part for a vast majority of them. These people paid for and were promised these benefits long ago. They need these benefits to survive. Social Security does NOT make anyone well off, they barely get by now. These cuts must be stopped and the constant usage of this money by our government for other purposes must be stopped now.

President Obama we elected you to save America not to compromise with big corporations and over-lobbied Republicans. Keep the promises that got you elected, it is a sacred trust not an arbitrary action to be diluted by compromises to the wealthiest sector.

Social Security benefits have been reduced by 40% over the past 30 years. Every President has falsely claimed that it needs saving or it will go broke. Let's stop the lies right now. Social Security for people should be funded just like destructive wars, from the General Funds Account of the Treasury.

Those on Social Security certainly do not need a cut in benefits. Many now have to make a choice between food and medication. Why do we take from the poor and elderly in our society and not tax the wealthy appropriately. This should not even be up for discussion and should be off the table for any type of discussion.

I oppose any cuts to Social Security. My family totally relies on this income that I have paid into for years. I am sixty four years old and cannot affort any cuts whatsoever.

As a Senior Citizen on fixed income, I cannot afford to have Social Security and/or Medicare funds cut. Our schools need necessary funding in order to prepare our children for the future... These cuts will serously affect the children and the elderly. STOP THESE CUTS!

For many retirees this would mean critical cuts to benefits that cover medicine, food, and other daily necessities.

Senior citizens have suffered enough in trying to fix the economy.

Social Security is the sole source of income for me as wall as many others. Please don't allow congress to put SS and Medicare on the chopping block. I have worked for a living since I was 15 years old and have paid into Medicare and SS as long as they have been there. I can no longer work. SS is my sole source of income. I worked for it, paid into it and need it and I need it to not be compromised. I have been without healthcare insurance for almost 10 years. I know the rich folks and the big corporations can afford more taxes. We in the middle class can not. Please don't compromise us in the middle class.

Ask the President not to cut social security benefits, and not to agree to keep some of the Bush tax benefits for the wealthy.
