Stand Up For Social Security/ No Chained CPI
We, the undersigned, petition you NOT to cut Social Security!
The chained CPI is a cut to Social Security, which we have paid into all of our working lives. Social Security has in no way contributed to the deficit, so it should not be considered as part of some "grand bargain." Cutting Social Security will hurt our seniors, folks receiving disability benefits, and disabled veterans. These citizens depend on every dollar of this hard-earned money to make ends meet, and cutting it will not only hurt their ability to have a dignified retirement, but it will damage the economy as well. Please do not use the chained CPI or in any way cut Social Security.

Why is this important?
I know many people that depend on these benefits—including myself—and cutting Social Security will be devastating.
