ACTION: The Fate of Social Security

SOCIAL SECURITY FATE IN YOUR HANDS.
TAKE ACTION AND SHARE!














This guy wouldn't have it any other way.



It's come to this: your member of Congress, right now, has the power to decide whether Social Security lives on, or begins to die an agonizing death. And there's only one thing keeping them from voting to end Social Security as we know it:
They're terrified that YOU, their constituents - Republicans, Independents, Democrats, unaffiliated, third-party members, everyone - will throw them out of office if they vote to cut Social Security. And they're right to be afraid: Social Security is the most universally popular government program of the last 100 years, and it cuts across party lines.
NOW is the time to call and email your Member of Congress with a simple promise: Vote to cut Social Security, and I WILL support a primary challenge to kick you out of office.
The fate of Social Security has all come down to Congress. Boehner is a joke who wants to cut the New Deal even further. Obama and Pelosi are negotiating with themselves, and STILL on-board with cutting Social Security. It's up to House Democrats and Republicans alike to say NO. And you can trust us on this: they won't unless they hear from YOU.
Click HERE: Send your Representative a call. Send your representative an email. Whatever you do, send your representative a message they can't ignore: SOCIAL SECURITY CUTS = YOUR LAST TERM IN CONGRESS.
We're counting on you. Thank you for all you do to make this movement real.
Sincerely,
John Sellers, The Other 98%
