Disabled People Needed For Mass Protests

We desperately need obviously crippled people demonstrating in front of every Social Security office in the land. The Time is right and it WILL WORK (even though we no longer can).
Millions of disabled people are receiving these letters as we speak.
Getting their benefits chopped as the "Haves and Have Mores" are getting more tax cuts and thousands are getting killed and maimed in Iraq. Hundreds of soldiers coming home maimed every day. Our ranks are growing.
There are many of us and our images will make the news and make a real impact.
We are the ones who can't work and therefore have the time to protest.

How do we organize?

4. Will he want to cut current payments, or is this for
his plans to fuck the under 50 workers?

5. I"M FIFTY AND AM HAVING $18000 STOLEN
In February I won my disability claim after four years struggle
They are stealing my back pay and are only paying me $204 a month
and cut my foodstamps to boot

My stepdaughter is 27, mentally retarded from birth, on SSI for years and they are cutting her benefits too.

While the super rich walk off with billions more in tax cuts
