Social Security is something that a lot of retirees are very depended on. It isn't right to deny these people who paid into it.

As a Missourian with a disability whose parents and in-laws also need every cent of the Social Security checks received, we are asking Senator McCaskill to keep Chained CPI calculations out of budget discussions. Raise taxes on the 1 percent instead of taking food and medicine from those who are elderly and disabled!

President Obama shouldn't cut social programs in order to get the Republican Congressional House members to make a budget.

We need Gerry Connolly to promise not to cut social security by one dime by promising to vote against any budget that uses Chained CPI or other methods to cut benefits for the old and the disabled. Want to raise more money for social security? Lift the cap on earnings subject to social security so the rich pay their fair share. Want to balance the budget? Don't do it by cutting social security payments to the old and disabled WHO PAID INTO THE SYSTEM AND ARE OWED THESE BENEFITS. Don't fall for the lie that recipients get more than they paid in. Social security is insurance against getting old or disabled without enough savings. Some die before they ever collect anything or collect little. Others collect more. Just like insurance on a house, with some that burn down and others that do not. Beneficiaries paid into the system and are OWED the promised payments in return. IF GERRY CONNOLLY WON'T PROMISE TO PROTECT EVERY DIME OF SOCIAL SECURITY, I PROMISE NOT TO DONATE A DIME OR A SECOND OF EFFORT TO GET HIM REELECTED AND I PROMISE TO SUPPORT A DEMOCRAT WHO WILL PROTECT SOCIAL SECURITY

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.

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.

Let's quit taking money from the retired that live on this money. Our home insurance went up 26.5%, how are we able to keep up?

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.

$8,573,115.97 of taxpayer funds was used to conceal EPA Region 4's mistakes and alleged illegal activity. 50 people have been diagnosed with non-Hodgkins Lymphoma alone within 1 mile of CTS of Asheville Superfund Site. Neighbors abused, deceived and harmed by EPA Region 4 officials' response. Community Advisory Group has collected evidence to support federal charges to be filed against EPA Region 4 officials for creating a fake CERCLA site by submitting a falsified Hazardous Incident Report to the US Coast Guard National Response Center to expedite the creation of a CERCLA designation for the victims' property for a the contamination emanating from a preexisting the CTS of Asheville CERCLA site. EPA Region 4 has failed to protect human health and the environment in an effort to save careers and shield the agency from the embarrassing attention that would come from the original mismanagement. Call Congressman Meadows, Congressman McHenry, Senator Burr and Senator Hagan today and ask for the Congressional Investigations to hold the agency accountable and protect other communities from this type of systematic and systemic abuse.

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.

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.
