New Yorkers say no cuts to Social Security benefits!
New Yorkers oppose Social Security benefit cuts, and New York's Congressional representatives should, too. Please reject President Obama's plan to cut Social Security benefits!
Why is this important?
President Obama's budget plan is not the kind of change we can believe in.
Obama's budget will includes a big cut to Social Security benefits -- making life harder for retirees for years to come. Despite President Obama's campaign promises about protecting Social Security and Medicare benefits, he is pushing hard for this devastating cut.
But members of Congress who care about working families can stop this plan. Speaker Boehner needs Democratic votes to pass even the least controversial bills. So if enough Democrats say Chained CPI and other benefit cuts are off the table, then they'll really be off the table.
