Stop Republican Hostage-Takers!

Republican hostage-takers got President Obama to agree to tax cuts for the wealthy by threatening to raise taxes on the middle class. Now they'll threaten the international financial stability of the United States to extort cuts in Social Security and Medicare. Know their plan and what you can do to stop it.

TAKE ACTION
Tell President Obama to stand up to the right-wing hostage-takers and reject their demands to slash Social Security benefits and raise the retirement age.

PETITION TO PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: REJECT SOCIAL SECURITY CUTS

Please reject the proposal by the co-chairs of your deficit commission to slash Social Security benefits and raise the retirement age.

Social Security has its own financing and does not contribute one dime to deficit. Social Security has successfully provided secure retirements for 75 years. It is fiscally sound and will never go bankrupt. Yes, work to bring down deficits and spur economic recovery, but don’t cut Social Security, which contributes nothing to the deficit.

I’m also worried that if you embrace proposals to cut Social Security, you will continue to lose seniors and anger future retirees whose retirement security has just been hit hard by the recession. And losing that support would endanger your re-election chances and the rest of your agenda for change.

You have continually fought to protect and strengthen Social Security. Don't stop now.
