Prevent the reduction of social security benefits for those who have paid into the system.

President Obama is suggesting to cut the social security that all of our retired seniors depend on for living. This cut will effect every citizen in the US. It was hard enough earning a dollar why cut the benefits that were being paid with every single pay check going towards retirement income. Say NO to the cuts on social security.

Don't allow any cuts to social security or Medicare. You promised us to protect us against any cuts or reductions. Keep your promise as we promised to reelect you. I served my country in the military for 23 years active duty, national guard and the reserves. I became 100% disabled because service to my country in Vietnam, Iran and Saudi Arabia. We need regular cost of living increases for social security. My spouse and I have meager retirements and we need every dollar to survive. I am a kidney cancer survivor due to direct exposure to jungle defoliants that I guided the Air Force to spray in operation ranch hand missions while I was an army engineer helicopter pilot in Vietnam. My spouse has undergone her 7th knee replace my surgery. We vets and retired older Americans need your help Mr. President. If cuts are made, we and many others will lose our homes, our health and our faith in government. We love our country, but does our government love us? If we can't afford to live here any more, will we forced to declare bankruptcy and in poverty?

Thousands of good American citizens are already attempting to survive below poverty level. Far too many are homeless and hungry. For a great majority, the only thing that gives hope is a monthly payment from the social security fund that they worked most of life to contribute to.

I LIVE ON SOCIAL SECURITY; TO CUT IT WOULD DROP US LOWER INTO POVERTY!

We senior citizens rely on our social security payments. We will become homeless if social security is cut. Find other means of handling the deficit.

Social Secuity is about allowing elgiable citizens the right to live a decent life without additional hardships. Considering, that the price of life's products increase annualy, how is one to live and keep pace, without an annual increase in the cost of living ?

President Obama has proposed cutting Social Security by lowering cost-of-living adjustments for current and future retirees. These cuts, sometimes called "chained CPI," will hurt seniors who have paid into the system for their whole lives and are already struggling with rising health care costs.

Please Tammy, I collect Social Security disability. I receive $899.00 per month. By the end of the month I am always short. I have to decide where I can go based on how much gas I can afford for my car. My co-pays for my doctors deplete much of it, and my out of pocket deductable is $500.00 per year. It will take me 10 months just to pay off the deductable. Please help keep my current payment as it is, not less.

I am disabled and worked for about 30 years starting at the age of 16 and had to pay into Social Security from that time until I was no longer able to work. And with cuts to Social Security, I can't afford the common necessities. Because I have to pay higher prices for gasoline, food, and if my income decreases, it will be even harder to survive. I've already be affected by The Sequester and have to pay more for rent living in HUD Subsidized Housing for Seniors and Disabled Persons.

PEOPLE I KNOW ARE BARELY GETTING BY ON THE MONEY THEY GET, THEY CANNOT AFFORD BEEF OR CHICKEN OR FRESH VEGETABLES. EATING BREAD AND KOOLAID AND HOT DOGS ARE NOT HEALTHY
