• No Social Security Cuts
    This is about President Obama's proposal to change the way cost of living increases are calculated for retirees on Social Security. As a person dependent on Social Security, the proposed "chained CPI" would decrease cost of living increases for me and my fellow retirees and make those among the least able responsible for decreasing the deficit. This terrible idea should be rejected.

  • Dont Touch Social Security Benefits
    Social security is my main source of income. If cost of living adjustments are not granted in the future, I probably won't be able to afford housing and the other necessities of living. It's a struggle to make ends meet even now with cost-of-living raises. The future seems hopeless without the cost-of-living adjustments that have been granted in past years.

  • Save Social Security Benefits
    We need to insure that our social security benefits will provide for our health and welfare in our retirement. The proposed cuts could reduce the ability of seniors to provide basic food and shelter necessities as they age.

  • Stand Up for Social Security
    The President has proposed to limit the growth of Social Security. The initiative is called "chained CPI"--and the result would impoverish seniors for living longer. We need to stand up and remind the president that Social Security is our money and must not be used to balance the federal budget.

  • Reject Social Security and Medicare Cuts
    Social Security and Medicare cuts will severely affect our families, parents, grandparents, and ourselves. It will make life unbearable for seniors who cannot find jobs and are too frail to work. It will cast more into poverty and make our country among the worst in civilized treatment of its elderly.

  • Unchain Social Security from Obama's CPI
    Obama's proposal to calculate Social Security Cost of Living adjustments based on a chained CPI is the back door to benefit reductions. If Social Security has to be "fixed", find another way, like raising the FICA wage cap.
