Gerry Connolly - PROMISE NOT TO CUT SOCIAL SECURITY
Demand that every Democrat in the House stand firm to protect every dime of Social Security, and hold firm against President Obama on this issue.
Why is this important?
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
