They won't stop until they get it.

In the last few years, Social Security has been reduced from the "3rd Rail of Politics" and the "Cornerstone of the Modern Democratic Party" to just another chip on the table up for grabs in Budget Negotiations.

It will begin with some "minor adjustments" that are really Cuts in Benefits,
and will die the slow Death of a Thousand Cuts once the precedent has been established.

Democrats need to Stand Strong and UNIFIED on Social Security.

Raise the CAP![/font]
as this candidate for the Presidency promised in 2008.

[font size=4]KEEP THE PROMISE![/font]
