Petition:Tell the GOP and the Nation, No cuts to Social Security benefit

Cutting Social Security benefits via Chained CPI or Superlative CPI is unacceptable to Americans. A recent National Academy of Social Insurance poll found 64% of Americans thought the COLA should be increased not cut. A poll conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health showed 66% of Americans supported no cuts to Social Security.

Increasing annual COLA's also increases Social Security Trust Fund revenues. This improves Social Security's long term solvency while increasing benefits for Seniors.

Tell President Obama:

#noSScuts

#HandsOffSocialSecurity.

The GOP doesn't care. You are making an appeal to reason with people who are purposefully and unconcernedly unreasonable.

I expect them to attack Social Security, Medicare, The Safety net, and Social Programs.
That is WHY I don't vote for them, send them money, ot campaign to get them elected.

I'm worried about The Democrats.
I DO Vote for them, send them money, and campaign to get them elected.
When they threaten to cut Social Security, the Safety net, and Social Programs,
or seek bi-partisan common ground with those sociopaths who want to cut the programs that the Working Class depend on,
I get very angry and feel very betrayed.

Hands OFF, ASSHOLES!!!
We DID build Social Security with our sweat and labor.
It is NOT yours to cut!

You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their rhetoric, promises, or excuses.
