Tell Congress today: HANDS OFF Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid



Only YOU can stop cuts to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. If you don't speak up, Congress WILL cut Social Security and raise the Medicare retirement age. House Speaker John Boehner already proposed cutting Social Security and raising the Medicare eligibility age to 67. And yesterday Democratic whip Steny Hoyer said entitlements should be on the table.

We've got to stop them NOW.

Call 888-979-9806 today and tell your Representative to make no cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, but end tax breaks for the wealthiest 2 percent.

After you make the call you can watch this video. It shows Ohio Sen. Rob Portman getting heckled by activists who oppose cuts to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. He's speaking to a conference held by the entitled jerks at  Fix the Debt who want more of your money. Fix the Debt is a bunch of CEOs who didn't worry about the deficit when George W. Bush ran it up, but now that Barack Obama is bringing it down they've got their knickers all in a twist.

Watch the video to the end, and you'll see a deranged "scholar" from the Koch-backed Heritage Foundation scream at the protesters, grab the camera and smash it to the ground. According to The Huffington Post his name is Ed Haislmaier,
...a Senior Research Fellow in Health Policy Studies at the conservative think tank, and a longstanding, vocal opponent of the Affordable Care Act. Prior to joining Heritage, Haislmaier was an executive at pharmaceutical giant Pfizer and a health care industry consultant.
