Tell Congress: Sign Pledge to Protect Social Security

Take action—urge your members of Congress to sign the Pledge to Strengthen Social Security.

If enough members of Congress pledge now to oppose Social Security privatization, President Bush’s proposal will be dead on arrival when it gets to Capitol Hill. Please take one minute now to urge your members of Congress to sign the Pledge to Strengthen Social Security and to oppose privatization proposals that would:

  • Cut guaranteed benefits. 
  • Weaken Social Security by diverting money from the Trust Fund to pay for private accounts. 
  • Explode the federal deficit. 
  • Possibly increase the retirement age.

Every one of us must act to stop privatization and strengthen Social Security.  Urge your members of Congress to sign the pledge today.
