Two tools we have to fight the assault on Social Security: Our voices and our votes
Edited on Fri Jul-08-11 09:38 AM by ProfessionalLeftist
BOTH need to be brought to bear on our reps and our President NOW.

Do you WANT "Chained CPI" for the SS COLA formula? This is a CUT and a pretty damn drastic one. If you don't want it or something like it, better SPEAK UP. Or don't complain when you get screwed with it. "THEY" have to know that we're onto their "cut but don't call it a cut" games.

Please call the Legislative Hotline: 1-800-998-0180, which will connect you to your Member of Congress and Senators. We need to oppose a Chained CPI for the Social Security formula. This will cut benefits. Listen to the recorded message then dial in your zipcode.

1. Recommend - CALL YOUR CONGRESS PEOPLE today
We have an excellent Dem Senator and Rep. They do listen and they will pass the word along.

8. Obama: primary his butt but no time for that at the moment
he's in the backrooms making deals with Repubes right now. The time to raise hell is before the backslapping starts.
