ACTION ALERT: NOV 30TH CALL YOUR SENATOR-SOCIAL SECURITY CUTS
Congress to Debate Social Security Cuts
KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF OF SOCIAL SECURITY
SOCIAL SECURITY IS OUR MONEY
The Co-Chairs of the Fiscal Commission will recommend Deep Cuts to Social Security at their December 1st meeting.
WE WILL CALL THE SENATE ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 30th
1-866-529-7630
Tell Congress to Keep their Hands Off Social Security.
You have done quite enough for the millionaires.
* Social Security will have a surplus thru 2037.
* Minor changes will keep this surplus for 75 years.
* Eliminating the $106,000 cap on wages or ending the Bush Tax Cut for the top 2% will fund Social Security for 75 years.
Sample Script
* I am calling to demand that Congress keep their hands off of social security.
* DO NOT raise the retirement age or cut benefits.
* Social Security has a surplus and helps all Americans.
* Please do what is right for the American people, not just millionaires.
* Thank you.

Tell Congress: End the Bush Tax Cuts
The Bush tax cuts, like the Iraq War, are one of the primary drivers of our large federal deficit. And like the Iraq War, the Bush tax cuts were sold to the public through outright deception. In the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, "conservatives" want to extend the tax giveaways for the wealthy (set to expire at the end of the year) at a cost of $700 billion over the next decade, while demanding deep cuts to the social safety net for poor, middle class, unemployed and elderly people. President Obama has called for the Bush tax cuts that affect the richest 2% of Americans to expire. There is simply no excuse for Congress to plead poverty when it comes to helping those in need while literally giving it away to those who don't need it.
Tell Obama: Don't Cave to Right Wing Nutjobs
Let's be clear: what the Republicans propose will only make things worse for our country. They'll do whatever they can to enact their policies. Already they are talking government shutdown -- a plan to hold our country hostage to force the president to meet their demands. That's not bipartisanship or compromise. And there's nothing noble or worthy in the President making disastrous concessions when doing so will only move our country backward. Tell President Obama: You can't "compromise" with crazy. Don't cave to the right-wing extremists.
