For all future generations

PSARA’s number one mission in the five months immediately ahead can be summed up in six words: Defend the integrity of Social Security. To protect this basic social program that binds all generations together, we need to build our membership base.

The ominous probability is that the deficit hawks who dominate the fiscal reform commission will call on Congress in December to raid the Social Security trust funds in the name of deficit reduction. We have to make sure Congress says, “No way!”

We know the deficit was caused by tax cuts that funneled billions to the wealthy; by two ongoing wars “on the credit card”; and by the current severe economic crisis, created by Wall Street. We need to get that message to every person we can reach.

That’s why we have to build our membership base. Working with our allies, we intend to call on every member of our Congressional delegation to pledge to “do no harm” to Social Security in the name of deficit reduction. We’re building a Congressional firewall against all such proposals.

Today’s retirees have a duty to fight for a future of economic justice for the oncoming generations, our children and grandchildren. That’s why it’s so urgent to build our membership base.

And that’s why we’re asking you, dear Member, to sign up that relative, friend, neighbor or workmate today. The people at your church, tour senior center, or your community meeting place. We need them; they need us. The coupon is on page 9 and at www.psara.org/join.htm. Sign up that new member today!
