From HealthCare Now - Sign the Count on Me pledge to tell Congress NOT to cut Social Security....
Edited on Mon Nov-22-10 02:47 PM by 1776Forever
The Co-Chairs of the National Fiscal Commission have proposed carving up Social Security and Medicare like a Thanksgiving turkey.

They want to increase the retirement age to 69, deeply cut benefits for middle-class workers, reduce annual Cost of Living Adjustments, increase healthcare costs to patients, and reduce Medicare reimbursements to providers.

We need your help to stop them! Join thousands of Americans in a National Call Congress Day on Tuesday, November 30.

We need to know if we can count on you to call Congress next Tuesday.

Click link below to make the "Count on Me" pledge to tell Congress not to cut, privatize, or raise the eligibility age for OUR Social Security and Medicare.

1. a pledge to call Congress? The French took to the streets
So now we are pledging to become Slactivists? What a toothless endeavor. Not even a "OMG call congress now" list, but a promise to do it later?

Put me down on the email list serve to pledge to call to encourage someone to email....

The French took to the streets, and we're pledging to effectively do nothing at some other date? Shit, I should be ruling you sheeple by now.

2. Do what you wish - I will call and put my voice with others. It is your choice. By the way France
is the size of Texas and a lot of us live in small communities and don't have the money or health to go to D.C. to march or even a larger city in our State.
