I have just partially retired from my job and my social security will begin next month, and I am totally dependent upon these 2 sources of income to make ends meet. I worked alot of years paying into the system, in fact much more than I shall be receiving by comparison, and I totally object to the cutting down people's social security due to the fact that there was never any cuts while the Government was receiving our pay in to this fund.

I am a writer, living in Los Angeles but originally from Chicago. I am a Vietnam combat veteran and winner of the Purple Heart and Bronze Star. Today, I survive on a Social Security payment and a 100 percent disability pension from the VA. I have an Agent-Orange connected cancer and am undergoing tests to determine if I have a pituitary tumor. Social Security is self-funded and has no effect on the national deficit. Congress should not rob seniors and the disabled. They should eliminate tax breaks for millionaires instead.

Social Security cuts

I am a widow, my husband past away two years ago. I have worked all my life and I count on my social security check ever month to be abel to make my house payment and make ends meet. I put into this all the time I worked and now that i need it and count on it, I want it to be there for me. I hate to think that I could become homeless for not having enough money to pay for my house payment. All my husbands retirement and my own retirement went to his care expense and care facilities before he past on. So I plead with you please don't mess with our Social Security, I speak for myself and all those others that are in the same situation as I am. I hope Pesident Obama stands his ground on this matter which is so critical to so many. " President Obama Please Keep your word" Stop these cuts!!! A faithful supporter, Sarah Zuniga.

Social security is critical to the health and well-being of my family. Not only did my parents and in-laws depend on it but my brothers and sisters also rely on social security benefits. Raising the retirement age or reducing the benefits will have a detrimental impact on my family.

The cuts in Social Security are opposed by an overwhelming majority of SignOn.org members and would amount to "a cut of more than 5 percent and more as the years go by." For many retirees this would mean critical cuts to benefits that cover medicine, food, and other daily necessities.

President Obama in a proposed fiscal cliff deal with John Boehner will decrease Social Security benefits by 5% in 2013 with more decreases to follow. These cuts decrease the already low income of elderly and disabled while people earning $400,000 or less will continue to see their incomes increase from the continued implementation of the Bush era tax cuts.

I know many individuals who bearly can live on social security now cuts will hurt them badly. End the Bush tax cuts instead.

Benefits for illegal aliens should be cut instead and we should stop sending the taxpayers' money to countries that hate us.

I AM OPPOSING ANY CUTS WHATSOEVER TO SOCIAL SECURITY, WHICH IS THE SOLE INCOME FOR MANY OF OUR SENIOR CITIZENS AND FOR WHICH THEY HAVE MADE CONTRIBUTIONS THROUGHOUT THEIR EMPLOYMENT. THE WEALTHY CAN AFFORD TO BE FURTHER TAXED.

I am a person on disability, who worked for 42 years and already paid for my benefits. Cut your high salaries instead. Congress does a below expectations job anyway. Stop uncalled wars!!!!

Stop cuts on Social Security
