• Don't touch SS or Medicare, we worked and paid for it
    Leave SS and Medicare alone. We worked for it! It was squandered by the past Republicans. Leave it alone. We are voters and will make you pay for any reductions.

  • No Social Security Cuts
    My mother worked all of her life. The $800 a month she gets for over 50 years of toil hardly affords her rent, let alone, food, utilities and clothes. She put money into the system, she should continue to get money out of the system.

  • Social Security tax cut proposal
    As a working citizen watching welfare costs increase..and contributing to the Social Security fund..there is no reason we need to cut Social Security. IF we tax corporations appropriately and stop funding war we can survive as a nation

  • Say "No" to Social Security cuts
    Legislators are discussing possible cuts to Social Security to help bring us back from the "fiscal cliff." We ALL know that this is the easy way out. Social Security benefits are VITAL to the health and well-being of today's middle-class seniors.

  • Take Social Security Cuts Off the Table
    I'm 69 years old and rely on my Social Security benefits which I paid taxes for. That was the deal. I'd pay taxes and when I retired, I'd get the benefits I was told I'd get. Don't allow your representatives to go back on that deal. And if you're still working, don't allow a precedent to be set that'll backfire on you.

  • No Cuts To Social Security or Any Benefits!
    My nephew has Asperger's. He collects SSI in order to try & help him be able to sustain himself. He's barely making it as it is. Cuts to his benefits would make it even harder for him to try & sustain keeping a roof over his head, food on his table, utility bills going, his car running, & his ongoing medications.

  • Senator Pryor: Put a Halt to Social Security Cuts.
    We cannot allow any cuts to social security. My husband receives $400.00 a month that we have to live on with three children at home. I have to work to keep paying the bills, keep insurance and help our children get an education. I am concerned when Speaker Boehner is finding it hard to accept tax cuts for those making $250.00 a year when I make $32,000.00 a year and never have gone on a vacation or bought a new car and I am a school teacher serving the needy. I thought our elected officials were our public servents.

  • Include WOTC extension in Fiscal Cliff Deal
    The Work Opportunity Tax Credit has been expired since December 31, 2011. Congress has failed to act on the extension of these credits. Now more than ever these credits need to be included in the Fiscal Cliff Deal being negotiated by the Whitehouse.

  • Tell Rep. Hoyer, "Cut Pentagon waste, not Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid."
    Key to resolving the so-called "fiscal cliff"/deficit crisis is telling Congress they must cut wasteful Pentagon spending. It is out of control, and defense contractor CEOs couldn’t be happier. Even though the Iraq War is over, and the draw down in Afghanistan continues, contractor CEOs making up to $26,000,000 a year are lobbying their friends on Capitol Hill to protect their exorbitant corporate salaries and profits, all at the expense of middle class and military families. Enough is enough. CUT THE PENTAGON WASTE and strengthen, not cut, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and other real and pressing needs!

  • No Deal With Social Security Cuts!
    Rumor has it the Obama White House is cutting a deal with Speaker Boehner on the "Fiscal Cliff" which includes cuts to future SS benefits. The plan is to reduce benefits over time which hurt the poor and veterans and leave Democrats open to obvious campaign attacks. So don't do it! Say NO to Social Security Cuts!!
