There was no Social Security petition at the White House website, no SS petitions at all. oO I started one Thursday night, I need 99,885 more signatures, so get in line and sign the petition.
we petition the obama administration to:
Tell the GOP and the Nation, No cuts to Social Security benefits, No Chained CPI, no Superlative CPI will be tolerated.
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.
