Here's where to tell Obama you will not support his reelection if he cuts SS.

President Obama, if you cut Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid, don't ask for my help in 2012
Sign the petition:

President Obama: If you cut Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid benefits for me, my family, or families like mine, don't ask for a penny of my money or an hour of my time in 2012. I'm going to focus on electing bold progressive candidates who will fight to protect our Democratic legacy.

President Obama is offering Republicans "substantial spending cuts, including in such social programs as Medicare and Medicaid and Social Security -- programs that had been off the table." -- New York Times, 7/7/11
Sign the pledge

1. You might want to change that link. It has someone's name

on the page. Could it be yours? Personalized pages are risky. If you're going to copy a link, make sure you're not logged into the site.

2. Wouldn't hurt... Obama's phone lines are slammed now and completely busy...

Was able to call Merkley's and Wyden's offices to let them know how I felt.

4. DailyKos: "A Non-Hysterical Progressive Analysis of so called Social Security Cuts on the Table"

"If enacted, the average social security recipient would get 14 cents less of an increase per month, but only in a month in which the social security benefit actually went up by about $34."

6. Are you aware that Pres. Obama in his SOTU said he'd cut costs and fraud but not benefits?

Nothing has changed since January.

FYI: the WH has already pushed back and denied Fred Hyatt's right-wing WaPo Business Section spin.

The actual story is that the President will not slash SS benefits. Where are the appropriate headlines to this effect?

"There is no news here," Carney said. "The President has always said that while social security is not a major driver of the deficit, we do need to strengthen the program and the President said in the State of the Union Address that he wanted to work with both parties to do so in a balanced way that preserves the promise of the program and doesn't slash benefits."

Let's not take the bait. Wait for actual information, before assuming the worst, please.

12. I'm not going to threaten him over a 14 CENT reduction in an increase.

And I have to wonder about anyone who does.
