• Please no cuts to Social Security
    Please, no Social Security cuts. I retired at 62 and now barely keep afloat on Social Security checks. Living in NYC and getting $839.00 a month is already next to impossible when you don't have enough savings. By my calculation I will draw all my savings in 3 years. What am I supposed to do, beg on the streets?

  • Social Security is a contractual insurance for working class Americans.
    Cuts to our insurance breaks faith with generations. The word entitlement has been used to confuse us while the Congress and President rob us. We expect you to honor the real interests of people, not corporations and the 1%.

  • Preserving Benefits To Protect Our Most Vulnerable Citizens
    This issue affects all of us either right in this moment or in the near future. Someone each of us knows will suffer from cuts to Social security benefits. We can not compromise on the small amount comparatively spent on Social Security rather than trimming defense or asking the very wealthy to shoulder their share or at least a larger portion of their fair share. Please move this petition forward.

  • Don't cut my Social Security
    The future of the majority of Americans who have paid into and expected to receive back Social Security in the time of their life when they need it the most should not be compromised in order to give a tax break to the wealthiest Americans among us.

  • No Social Security Cuts!
    I live on Disability. In 2008, I lost half of my IRA; the little that is left is for a dire emergency. Social Security would not be in this situation if Goverment had kept its hands off of it. I would like one of the Senators or Congress members live for a week under my conditions. No cable, paint peeling off ceiling, windows need caulking, $10/mo allotted for gasoline, one meal a day; yes I am really living in the lap of luxury. Tell me what would you cut from my budget?

  • We can't cut Social Security
    We can't have cuts to Social Security. Many people like myself live on Social Security along, and we would all be greatly affected with cuts to cost of living increases in Social Security..

  • Say "No" to Proposed Cuts in Social Security
    You may have heard that yesterday President Obama 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%. It is already difficult to make ends meet and provide for our daily needs. This is not the place to compromise. The good news is that many senators, including Senate Leader Harry Reid, have promised to oppose Social Security cuts in any deficit reduction package. If they hear from enough of their constituents, we can still get the Senate to reject this proposal and protect Social Security.
