How YOU can protect your Social Security
Together we can pass the Social Security Expansion Act!
FIRST, contact your federal lawmakers and candidates
Why this is important
The Social Security Expansion Act will become an issue when “We, the People” make it one. Members of Congress do not need to rely on Social Security, nor do the huge donors who have their ears.
Social Security is the people’s program …
the only “lobbyists” it has is you and I.
Contact your elected officials
Congress should work for YOU!
Tell your U.S. Senators and Member of Congress
that they must co-sponsor S.770 to earn your vote
Call the Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121
Or look up your U.S. Senators‘ and U.S. Representative’s direct line

We can all join together to pass the Social Security Expansion Act, regardless of any other political differences. This is about security for the 99 percent of us.
