No Social Security Cuts!
Californians:
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 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.
Sign this petition and make a difference! This will go to Barbara Boxer, Dianne Feinstein, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, making it clear that the people demand No Social Security Cuts!

Why is this important?
We've all been paying our own money into Social Security our whole lives. Why should that money be used as a bargaining chip? No one has the right to do such a thing!
