Tell the Senate: Don't Cut Our Social Security!
Social Security is more than a retirement program -- it's one of the most successful anti-poverty programs in American history. It provides benefits to children, disabled workers, surviving spouses, and retirees. Social Security is especially important for women, who frequently don't have pensions or adequate savings and often outlive their spouses. In fact, without Social Security benefits, nearly half of older women would fall into poverty.
But the future of Social Security is in danger -- and we must band together to send a strong message to our senators: don't cut Social Security benefits.
Common-sense reforms and improvements to Social Security are needed, but these can't be achieved at the cost of the well-being of women's economic security. In these tough economic times, cutting Social Security could devastate working families across our nation.
Now more than ever, Social Security must be protected. Urge your senators to oppose any cuts to Social Security benefits.
Dear senator,
Social Security is one of our nation's most successful anti-poverty programs, providing benefits to children, disabled workers, surviving spouses and retirees. It's especially important for women, who frequently don't have pensions or adequate savings and often outlive their spouses. In fact, without Social Security benefits, nearly half of older women would fall into poverty.
Although common-sense reforms and improvements to Social Security are necessary, cutting benefits could devastate women and families across the nation. In these tough economic times, it is essential that Social Security is protected.

As your constituent, I urge you to oppose any cuts to Social Security benefits.
