A great organization to fight cuts of Social Security and Medicare - link;

[old mark]

The National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare;
http://www.ncpssm.org/

I am not a joiner, but I just found this organization and I had to join it immediately, especially after the GOP took over the House in November.

I URGE all seniors to look at the link and at least investigate this group...we MUST fight for ourselves as it seems we have few people on our side.

Thank you - please check it.

1. I too am a member! Did you hear about them on DU?

4. NO, I posted about them on GD and on several other "liberal" forums last month -

I just ran across them somewhere online, and they impressed me very favoribly.

I think we are in for a fight and I want to support these people.
I am not one to just complain and despair.

5. I'm right there with you. There's been a lot of talk that politicians want to make SS decisions

behind closed doors because the public will flip out (rightfully so) like the privatization debacle. NCPSSM sounds the alarm bells early and that's what I like about them.
