Sherrod Brown petition: Join the Fight to Save Social Security and Medicare!
Edited on Thu Jul-14-11 10:36 AM by cal04
The GOP is looking to balance the budget at the expense of seniors and the disabled. If they have their way, the GOP would cut essential programs like Social Security and Medicare in order to fund more giveaways to millionaires. Sherrod Brown has created a petition to tell Washington that we can’t force our most vulnerable citizens to pay for the deficits created by the right.

Sign the petition now! Tell Republicans we won’t let them force seniors and the disabled to bear an unfair burden in order to protect the rich.

3. I got a recorded message and was told that I would be connected
to Senator Feinstein's office. But then the line was silent. I was never connected to Feinstein's office.

5. I am STUNNED & ASHAMED that I have to fight with the SUPPOSED "Democratic" Party...
...to try to SAVE these programs.
The Democratic Party I joined 44 years ago would NOT have to be petitioned to fight for Social Security/Medicare,
or FIGHT for Spending during a recession & Jobs Crisis.
Those thing were EXPECTED from the "Democratic Party".
:cry:


"I've seen it happen time after time. When the Democratic candidate allows himself to be put on the defensive and starts apologizing for the New Deal and the Fair Deal, and says he really doesn't believe in them, he is sure to lose. The people don't want a phony Democrat. If it's a choice between a genuine Republican, and a Republican in Democratic clothing, the people will choose the genuine article, every time; that is, they will take a Republican before they will a phony Democrat, and I don't want any phony Democratic candidates in this campaign."

---President Harry Truman
