  • Sean Parnell: Take Action to Make Alaska's Roads Safer
    Young drivers across Alaska and across the nation have disproportionately high car crash rates and drive less than all but the oldest of people, but have the highest crash rates of any age group. Countless young men and women die every day and it is our responsibility to reduce this loss of life.

  • Please save Social Security
    I am just getting ready to retire in June and I can just barely make it with the estimated amount I will be making with Social Security. If this gets lowered even just a little I will be in serious trouble. Joanna Kamburoff

  • WE WILL VOTE FOR YOU IF YOU SAVE OUR COMMUNITIES
    Our Public Housing is at risk, our communities are unaware of the decisions that are being made about our homes. There is funding available that has not been used to aid NYCHA. Affordable public housing should be a top priority in New York City.

  • No Cuts to Social Security
    President Obama's budget includes cutting the chained CPI in Social Security. I would be personally affected by the cut because it would seriously affect my financial situation and maintaining my household.

  • Do NOT Cut Social Security!
    Arizona seniors simply cannot afford a cut to social security. Social security makes up 62% of the typical older Arizonan’s budget. In 2011, the average annual benefit was only $14,300. Cutting social security will drive our older Arizonans into poverty. Almost 800,000 Arizonans rely on social security. These older Americans worked and paid into social security their whole lives. We cannot abandon them now. Please sign on now to stand up for our seniors!

  • Social Security Cuts
    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.

  • Say NO to the chained CPI and proposed cuts in Social Security
    Social Security didn’t create the budget deficit, and seniors and disabled veterans shouldn’t suffer to make it balance. Changing the Cost of Living Adjustments to Social Security by using a Chained CPI hurt seniors. The Chained CPI is based on the idea that seniors can find cheaper substitutes for products when prices change, but as they age seniors have significant expenses that are medical, and co-pays on drugs and medical care aren’t flexible.

  • Cut Social Security & Veterans' Benefits? Cut the Pentagon Instead!
    President Obama has endorsed cutting Social Security and veterans' benefits by using the "chained CPI" to lower the cost-of-living adjustment. But the Congressional Budget Office says cutting Social Security and veterans' benefits in this way would only save the government $163 billion over ten years. There are much better ways for the government to save $163 billion, like cutting the bloated Pentagon budget. Urge President Obama and your representatives in Congress to cut the Pentagon budget instead of cutting Social Security and veterans' benefits. Here are three easy ways to save $163 billion by cutting the bloated Pentagon budget: 1. End the war in Afghanistan. A rough estimate of the cost of deploying U.S. troops to Afghanistan is a billion dollars per thousand troops per year. If we withdraw 16,300 troops from Afghanistan and keep them out, that would save $163 billion over ten years. 2. Cut the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program. A recent estimate of the long-term cost of purchasing, operating and maintaining 2,457 F-35s is $1.5 trillion. [1] That's $610 million per plane. If we cut 267 planes - a little over 10% - that would save $163 billion. 3. Cut Pentagon contracting. Every year the Pentagon spends more than $360 billion purchasing goods and services from contractors. Service contractors can cost, on average, 2.94 times more than an average Pentagon civilian employee performing the same job. A crude estimate suggests that just by cutting Pentagon contracting by 7% and bringing the work in house, the Pentagon could save $163 billion over ten years. [2] Cutting the Pentagon budget instead of Social Security and veterans' benefits isn't a wild idea - it's exactly what will happen if there there is no "grand bargain" budget deal. All we have to do to make sure the Pentagon budget is cut is prevent a deal that cuts Social Security and veterans' benefits. Urge your representatives in Congress and President Obama to cut the Pentagon budget instead of cutting Social Security and veterans' benefits. Here's three other actions you can take: 1. Write to Congress and the President, urging them to cut the Pentagon budget instead of Social Security and veterans' benefits: http://www.justforeignpolicy.org/act/chained-cpi 2. Tell your Representative and Senators you'll support a primary challenge if they vote to cut Social Security and veterans' benefits: http://pac.signon.org/sign/chained-cpi-for-every?source=c.url&r_by=1135580 3.
