Target:
President Obama
Sponsored by: 
For years I have heard about family value from the Bush Administration keep the family together what a joke that is a lie, this is how they keep family's together when a wife and Husband are disabled Social Security's  family value is seperate or we take your medical and your benefits away from you  they have real family value, what right does Social Security have to tell someone when they have been married for 40 years to seperate or get a divorce and you can keep your benefits, who made them God and then you go to a Social Security office and they treat you like you are trash just because you are disabled, so President Obama you talk about change  why don't you change the law so family's can stay together instead of forcing them to seperate or get a divorce.

There is no logic in taking away someone's benefits or receiving benefits if someone cannot work because of illness. Regardless if they are married or not. They have NO RIGHT taking anyone's benefits. The system sucks! And wanting to get married and cannot because you will lose your benefits. This is just not right. This has got to change. It is so unfair. I pray to God that President Obama will do something that will help!
