SIGN HERE TO SUPPORT EXPANSION OF SOCIAL SECURITY


Dear Friend:
Social Security is a favorite punching bag in Washington -- anywhere you look, someone is trying to privatize the program or otherwise cut it.
There are plenty of ways to improve the Social Security that nearly 2 million people in Ohio rely on -- like lifting the income cap, or calculating benefits in a way that better accounts for the expenses seniors face. And neither of those involves cutting benefits.
That’s why today I’m announcing that I’m teaming up with Tom Harkin and the Progressive Change Campaign Committee to grow a progressive grassroots movement devoted to expanding Social Security -- and I want you to join us.
Support the expansion of Social Security? Say so. Sign the petition today.
There’s been talk of tying Social Security benefits to a “Chained CPI.” But really, that’s a fancy Washington way of saying “let’s cut into people’s benefits over time.”
We need to expand Social Security, not cut benefits.
Our seniors have paid into Social Security all of their lives. And they deserve to see the benefits they’ve been guaranteed.
This isn’t negotiable. Generations of Americans have had Social Security to secure their retirement. It’s a promise we make -- and I refuse to see it end with us.
Join the grassroots movement to expand Social Security. Add your name right now.
Thank you for your support.
