I am sending this plea out to more than 50 of my friends because I believe you
will agree we have to do something to stop the plunder of Social Security.
Please consider responding to this urgent request to stop the Senate from
cutting funds from Social Security that would lead to the layoff of the people
who process our social security checks each month. If these employees lose
their jobs, recipients of social security will experience delays in receipt of
their payments and others applying for social security will suffer longer
delays in getting approved.
Thank you

Take Action
Dear Sharon,
Republicans have found an easier way to cut Social Securityjust cut funding
for the Social Security Administration (SSA). In the wee hours of the morning
on February 19, all but three House Republicans voted to cut $1.7 billion from
the SSA. The proposed cuts are so severe that the SSA could have to furlough
thousands of workers for 1 month out of the 7 months remaining this budget
year.
The impact of these cuts for retirees, disabled workers and families will be
devastating.
Please attend a noon rally on March 2nd to support restoring funding to the
Social Security Administration. Click here to see if there is a rally near you.
If you cant attend a rally, please call your Senators.
Heres what these cuts will do:
Up to 400,000 people will have their applications for retirement, survivors and
Medicare benefits significantly delayed.
Up to 290,000 people will have their applications for disability benefits
significantly delayed. Unbelievably, it already takes nearly 500 days on
average to have a disability claim resolved.
Whats worse is that these cuts are nothing but cutting for cuttings sake.
;When we say Social Security doesnt add a penny to the deficit that goes for
the costs the Social Security Administration incurs making sure that workers
get the benefits they earned. The money you contribute to Social Security
every day you work pays not only for your benefits, but for the Social Security
Administrations work keeping track of your earnings, so that you get the
benefits you earned.
Please attend a noon rally on March 2nd to support restoring funding to the
Social Security Administration. Click here to see if there is a rally near you.
If you cant attend a rally, please call your Senators.
The Republican agenda is clear. The party wants to cut, privatize, and
otherwise harm Social Security. This month they are trying to defund the SSA.
In April and May they will try to cut Social Security benefits outright.
Its up to the U.S. Senate to keep the doors to the SSA open for business.
This could be decided over the next two weeks. We need you to call your
Senators today.
Thanks for fighting to strengthen Social Security,
Melissa Byrne
