Received this e-mail today from former Governor Ted Strickland’s (D. OH) U.S. Senate campaign:
We must protect our safety net for seniors, but to do it, I need your help.
I’ve talked with people in every corner of Ohio, and again and again, I've heard stories of friends and family lifted up by the sense of decency and security that Social Security provides. Right now, falling home values & 401k packages mean that many seniors who have worked hard and earned their benefits are struggling to make ends meet. Social Security is a life-saving safety net. The promise we’ve made to our seniors is crucial to the American dream.
Sign on now to support protecting Social Security for hardworking Americans.
Republicans in Congress including Rob Portman are constantly attacking this vital program. They’ve tried to privatize Social Security and even raise the minimum age for seniors to be eligible.
Now more than ever, we must not only oppose all cuts to Social Security, but we must demand that Congress strengthen and expand it as well. That’s why I’m joining Daily Kos and my fellow Democratic Senate challengers to stand up to Republicans who would break our promise on a program that is so essential to America. Will you protect our nation’s seniors with us?
Sign on to demand Congress strengthen and expand Social Security for those who need it the most.
Let’s keep our promise to senior citizens.
Ted Strickland
