Retiree Protection
Retires are in a period of unprecedented threats to EARNED benefits derived from both their payroll pension contributions, as well as a lifetime of service during their employment. Big banks and Wall Street have used worst case scenario pension funding calculations during the Great Recession to create as hysterically created crisis to reneg on promises made to workers and Retirees. Wall Street and Big Banking have funded political campaigns which allow corporations and government to declare bankruptcy which places Bond Holders and other debt holders in the front of the line and Retirees coming in last of the line of obligations.
Basically, an organization can borrow and spend their way into bankruptcy, and the Retirees get deprived of their earned promised benefits so Big Banking bonds get paid.
Sign this petition and tell your politicians that corporations may be people, but corporations don't vote! Retirees, their families, workers and their families and fair minded people who believe a promise is a promise, DO VOTE!

Why is this important?
This petition is intended to persuade legislators to pass and enact federal, state and local laws that protect retirement benefits from big banks and Wall Street sponsored politicians and contrived bankruptcies.
