Stop Social Security Cuts

Save Social Security - Stop The Cuts.

Why is this important?

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.

Many senators have promised to oppose Social Security cuts in any deficit reduction package. If they hear from enough of us, we can still get the Senate to reject this proposal and protect Social Security.
