Subject: Seniors Celebrate Social Security's Birthday; Romney-Ryan Plan to Cut It

Speak Up! Write a letter to your editor!

Today, Social Security celebrates its 77th anniversary. Alliance members across the country are holding rallies and grassroots events to meet with their elected officials to discuss the needs of current and future retirees.

How ironic that just as seniors celebrate Social Security’s birthday, Mitt Romney has named in Paul Ryan a running mate who wants to decimate the program.
Romney and Ryan aim to cut Social Security dramatically even though it is self-funded and has not added one dime to the deficit. The Ryan-Romney plan would raise the retirement age and turn Social Security over to Wall Street, where it would be subjected to the whims of the stock market.
It's more important than ever that we speak up and get active to support this landmark program!
