  1. Please make sure that you as an organization stand up for our rights as senior citizens, we have worked a long time
    and we expect to have the money that we ourselves have put in Social Security. No one should have the right to our
    hard earned money. No other President as ever touched that fund, but this president thinks that our money needs to be shared with the those who have not worked for it. I am for A Plan to Keep Social Security Solvent Forever!
