Sen. McCaskill: Please co-sponsor the Strengthening Social Security Act of 2013
We need a stronger Social Security program, not cuts! Senator Tom Harkin is working hard in order to protect Social Security and strengthen it for today's senior citizens and disabled individuals, as well as to ensure it is there for future generations. But it can't go to a vote until it has more co-sponsors. Would you please lead the way on this, sign on as a co-sponsor? Thank you!
Why is this important?
Last month's budget showdown shut down the government and hurt the economy. The next budget showdown—which may be just six weeks way—could result in a "grand bargain" that cuts Social Security and Medicare benefits. We can't let that happen, we can't allow this important social safety net be whipped out from under us! Everyone in Missouri needs to speak out now, ask Sen. McCaskill to co-sponsor this bill so it can come to a vote before then and get signed into law. We are all affected by this: those who are already seniors or disabled who depend on Social Security, as well as those who are paying into Social Security for future retirement.
