I signed this not so much for me but for my dad who uses both and all the other seniors or struggling families they need these programs
Chynna supported: Here's a quick, easy way to defend your Social Security, SNAP, etc.I care about this issue because I am disabled after working and paying into social security for decades, and I have friends who are retired. This is insanity, it will cause millions to become homeless. It will cause children to starve. Just to give even more tax breaks to the ultra rich. This is America, We should do better!
Wendy supported: Here's a quick, easy way to defend your Social Security, SNAP, etc.After I signed up for the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP)--the military equivalent of the 401(k)--I watched as the $8K that I'd saved up in five years' time dropped in the mid-2000s to $3K, as the government took back its share and scooped out my contributions along with it. It would be nothing short of a crime for the same thing to occur with Social Security. This is something we've paid into it with our taxes for decades. This program is a stopgap for millions of Americans who need it to remain housed, fed, and clothed, among other things. Removing it will not "save the government money"--it will only cause more economic trouble in a dozen different directions, and will cheat people out of their own invested funds. We trusted this country, and we invested in the United States with our Social Security taxes, and the U.S. invested in us. It was a promise for us to mutually look after one another--and one that should be kept.
M.L. supported: Here's a quick, easy way to defend your Social Security, SNAP, etc.Please, please protect our social security! We have paid into it our entire working lives and we need this. Government may run the program but that money is ours. If you cut it we want every dime we have paid into it returned. If not it's taxation without representation all over again along with outright theft and mismanagement that can't be blamed on anyone other than whomever cuts it.
Patricia supported: Here's a quick, easy way to defend your Social Security, SNAP, etc.I paid into Social Security for 52 years. The fund has been repeatedly raided by craven politicians. Any future shortage can easily be precluded by removing the cap on Social Security earnings and making billionaires pay their fair share!
Martin supported: Here's a quick, easy way to defend your Social Security, SNAP, etc.I am a 31 year old woman who has struggled with chronic illness for the majority of my life. The amount of times that ideal treatments, testing, and otherwise helpful options could not be pursued because of coverage is maddening. The feeling of knowing that you don't need to be in pain, but literally can't afford not to be is one of the most hopeless feelings in the world...and it's not as uncommon as it should be. I had a life saving emergency procedure at the age of 26 that is still financially following me. Noone should have to weigh their life against their wallet. It is a basic human right to be able to live and do so to the best of our ability - that includes being able to stay healthy, especially in a country this wealthy.
Kamilah supported: Extend Medicare Coverage for People Under 62 Based on Specific Needs and Medical HistoriesI tried to upload the video and it won't let me so I have to leave a comment. This is very detrimental to me I'm 71 years old and I have been collecting my husband's survivor benefits at $2,800 a month for the ladt 6 years.since I have retired last March 2024 my social security from the survivors benefits went down to $345 a month I've lost way over $2,000 I live alone and my children don't live here either to help me. Losing that $2,000 a month is detrimental to me and I'm struggling I am on my hands and knees to get this past for us senior citizens that have a state pension to get our social security back. This is the most unfair thing I think I've ever gone through how dare they take away our money. We have to get this passed for us senior citizens to be able to live comfortably
Janis supported: Rep. Richard E. Neal: Reform the Government Pension Offset (GPO) and the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP)I am 67 and I count on my SSA benefits every month. I am still working, but a decrease in SSA benefits would prevent me from being able to pay all my bills. I don't want to lose my house or become homeless. Please raise and protect SSA benefits for us in lowest income brackets. I would like to be able to actually retire one day. Thank you.
Karman supported: Support Local Social Security OfficesThere are so many of us who need Social Security to survive.
Most people don't have the time or ability to wait indefinitely for a person to pick up a phone.
Please staff your offices.
This will save lives.
