• social security cuts
    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%. 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.1,2

  • Stop social security cuta
    I am on disability and if social security and medicare are cut I won't have any health care nor any money on which to survive since I am unable to work. The cuts wouldn't just affect me but also millions of other people as well. Please do the right thing and stop cuts to social security and medicare.

  • 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!

  • No deal on Social Security!
    I work more for less money because the super rich decided to play roulette with the economy. Now your going to cut my Social Security benefits because the government spent the Social Security money to fund tax cuts for the super rich. No way!

  • 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.

  • Save Social Security
    As a citizen who has worked hard all my life and am finally approaching the age of Social Security, I repudiate President Obama's potential Social Security cuts in favor of letting the rich keep their tax cuts.
