Last week, the Governor released his plan to expand Social Security.

The feedback was incredible. Click here to read the plan yourself, https://martinomalley.com/the-latest/expanding-social-security/ & if you like what you've read, pitch in to the campaign that'll get it done.

Here are just five things folks said about the plan:

1. “The move is vintage O'Malley, a policy nerd at heart...who has sought to win the battle of progressive ideas by being the first to release comprehensive and far-reaching white papers on matters like climate change, college affordability and immigration. O'Malley's Social Security plan was welcomed by progressive groups.” - Bloomberg

2. “His plan seeks a big increase in employer-based retirement systems and rejects the idea of privatizing Social Security to keep it solvent...a dream of groups like the Progressive Change Campaign Committee.” - The New York Times

3. “Rejecting calls to raise the retirement age, the former governor of Maryland will call for expanding Social Security benefits to all Americans.” - Politico

4. “O’Malley ... seeks to increase Social Security benefits and to resist calls to raise the retirement age, among other measures aimed at easing economic pressures on seniors. The plan is the latest in a flurry of progressive policy papers from the former Maryland Governor.” - The Washington Post

5. “Governor O’Malley’s Social Security and related proposals underscore what a visionary, pragmatic, fiscally responsible, and compassionate leader he is. He understands that Social Security is a solution to our looming retirement income crisis, the financial squeeze confronting today’s working families, and the nation’s rising and dangerous income inequality." - Social Security Works
