No to Cuts on Social Security!
If President Obama insists on pushing these cuts, then it's up to Democrats in Congress, including Minnesota Rep. Tim Walz, to say no. But standing up to a president of your own party isn't easy, and Democrats are unlikely to do it unless they hear from constituents.
Why is this important?
President Obama has proposed cutting Social Security by lowering cost-of-living adjustments for current and future retirees. These cuts, sometimes called "chained CPI," will hurt seniors who have paid into the system for their whole lives and are already struggling with rising health care costs. This directly affects clients that I work with daily. This also effects people who are dear to me, my family.
