Medicare and Social Security

I know, I know, this isn’t exactly addressing the 1st amendment but I did think it is worthy, While my resistance has been mostly critical of the president’s nominations, executive orders, and statements, I have thanked one of our Alaskan senators (Lisa Murkowski) for her vote against Betsy DeVos. Even though DeVos was confirmed, Sen Murkowski’s vote was important!

Today, I have a request of the president for positive action. Here are the president’s own words: “Save Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security without cuts. Have to do it. Get rid of the fraud. Get rid of the waste and abuse, but save it. People have been paying it for years. And now many of these candidates want to cut it. You save it by making the United States, by making us rich again, by taking back all of the money that’s being lost.”[New York, NY, 6/16/15]

Send this quote to your congressional team. Offer support for SAVING “Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security without cuts.” If you are over 65 any cuts will impact you directly! Send the quote to the president and ask him to stand by his words. We need to do this before (it may be too late already) the president makes some statement impacting these programs!
