• Opposition to Cuts in Social Security Benefits
    President Obama has 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%. The cuts in Social Security 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. We need to stop taking earned and promised benefits from our country's neediest in order to protect the top 2% of the wealthiest individuals from a most deserved tax increase.

  • We Earned Social Security
    I will retire in 5 years. I will need all the money I can scrape together. So will most retirees. I worked my entire adult life, often at 2 jobs and while going to law school. I earned my retirement and right to health care.

  • Stop Social Security Cuts
    The disabled and retired population depend on Social Security for housing, food, and medication. Many are disabled or too old to work to add to their income. Cuts to this population need to be stopped.

  • DO NOT CUT SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS!
    Cutting social security benefits by 5% or more will only make the current problem worse; giving the rich another 2% will not make the problem any better. Seniors lives depend on that 5%; the rich won't really miss the 2%, and none of them will die if they don't get it. Seniors will if they don't keep theirs.

  • Stop Proposed Cuts to Social Security
    Current proposal calls for as much as 5% cuts to Social Security benefits and as I just began receiving my SS benefits, I am strongly opposed to ANY Social Security cuts. I can't believe that the very same proposal allows the rich 2% to have better tax cuts than retirees!

  • Do not cut Social Security Benefits for Retirees
    Do not cut retiree benefits as a compromise just to get off the fiscal cliff. We can not afford the cuts, the rich can afford to pay more (as they will get it from us somehow anyway). Do not use the elderly as a compromise!

  • Lower cost of living increases for Social Security
    Our 1-1.7 percent increase to seniors will equal from $6 to $20 more a month but Medicare, medicine, gas, food, and utilities (just to name a few) are also going higher than that so we are really not getting a cost of living raise because it is costing more than that to live.

  • STOP CUTS TO SOCIAL SECURITY
    Halt any efforts by the White House or US Congress to cut Social Security to current elderly recipients or to those looking to receive the Social Security benefits they paid for by working 30, 40 or more years - those 55 and older.

  • Do Not Consider Cuts to Social Security Cuts
    My husband is a retired professor whose social security benefits equal $631.00 per month. If I were not working, it would be impossible for him to exist because of his high medical costs and just the cost of living. Do not short change our seniors who have worked hard all of their lives for this small stipend.
