We recently had an event on Capitol Hill where we delivered over 65,000 petitions to Members of Congress about not cutting Social Security and Medicare. Senator Sherrod Brown and Senator Bernie Sanders was there to share a few words about these programs.
Senator Sherrod Brown was joined by National Committee members Regina Duffey, Sam Burnett, Nancy Wells and State Director, Shawn Phetteplace, at a press conference on Monday. Senator Brown reiterated his strong opposition to cuts to Social Security and Medicare. In 2011, Senator Brown introduced a bill to increase the COLA to keep up with inflation, and has been a strong, determined leader for seniors, the disabled, and veterans. We appreciate the Senator’s support for these vital lifelines for millions of Ohioans.

There is a quiet, covert war being waged on Social Security. The tactic? Divide and conquer.
Max Richtman, the President and CEO of The National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare was in Columbus Friday to speak to seniors who also heard from Ohio’s senior U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown. Richtman makes his case for defending and protecting Social Security through means including raising the “cap” on income and using CPIE formula designed for seniors instead of the so-called “Chained CPI,” that hurts retiress.
Thank you Senator Sherrod Brown for your strong support of Social Security. It’s important that we strengthen Social Security and BOOST benefits for working Americans.

We have fallen into a bad habit of allowing debate around Social Security to be conducted in the context of the budget.
