This week, Social Security celebrates its 76th birthday!
Thank you to all the Leaders who have created and protected this American institution through the generations, rewarding working American's with retirement with stability for decades.
Unfortunately, with this decades' fiscal crisis, many Congressional leaders forced Social Security onto the bargaining table unwilling to discuss raising the budget ceiling unless democratic leaders were willing to sacrifice social security.
In exchange Republicans would consider taxing the wealthiest americans.
There has even been false information spread linking Social Security to the deficit.
But they are wrong - by law, Social Security cannot add one dime to the deficit. (Want to know what DOES add to the deficit? Corporate loopholes and tax breaks for the uber-wealthy to the tune of billions of dollars!)
Social Security lifts millions of senior citizens out of poverty every year, and provides critical assistance to disabled individuals and children.
This week, NH Citizen's Health Alliance will deliver oversized birthday cards to Rep. Guinta's and Rep. Bass's offices demanding that they oppose cuts to Social Security.
(You can also let us know when you sign if you would be willing to deliver the card on Thursday to Rep. Bass's Concord or Nashua office or to Rep. Guinta's Manchester or Dover office.)
Please sign the birthday card today and show your support for strengthening this important program.
Thank you for investing in America's future!
