A petition to stop 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.

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.
As a SignOn.org member in New York, you can make a difference by launching a petition to your senators, Kirsten Gillibrand and Charles Schumer, and Majority Leader Reid. If you get it started, we'll email it to SignOn.org members in your area to help get it going.
