Thom Hartmann: Call the WH @ 202-456-1111 - Don't throw seniors under the bus!



Richard Fowler, Richard Fowler Show & Christopher Bedford, The Daily Caller join Thom Hartmann. Will the President show the nation his backbone - and stand up to the Republicans - or will he leave progressives in the dust - and let Republicans hack away at Social Security and Medicare? It’s time to get active - and push Obama in a progressive direction. Tell him no cuts to Social Security Insurance. Call the White House comment line at 202-456-1111

He's got his million dollar job/parachute/retirement and is already screwing over the very poorest of the people who worked damn HARD to help get him elected. Words fail the disgust I'm feeling about him.

lose money.

The average check is $1132/mo as of Oct 2012
For 13 million of them it's the only income they have.

Rent 600
Utilities: 150
Food: 300
Transportation: $100

There. Is. No. Room.

We don't need to kill seniors to support the rich.

Thom, I love ya, you are always right and progressively strong. These two guys on your show are total wimps.
They are part of the problem. They don't stand up for what they want, rather they act like they are grateful
for any crumb that falls to them.
