Petition to protect Medicare

Here's the petition you send to your congressmen and senators. Make copies and distribute to your friends and fellow senior citizens, and send to public officials who represent your State in Congress.

We don't have time. We have to take it upon ourselves to send this petition or we might lose most of our Medicare benefits. (Petition adapted from AARP's form.)

Remember, if we don't act, Congress could cut our Medicare and Social Security benefits.

CUT HERE

Petition to: _______________________________

(Senator or Congressman representing your district)

I am very disturbed by proposals that would cut Medicare and Social Security benefits to address the federal deficit. Cutting the benefits I have earned , instead of cutting ineffective forms of government spending, is unfair to America's senior citizens.

To save money, Congress should effectively cut health care costs without cutting benefits. American workers pay into Medicare and Social Security with the expectation of receiving these benefits when they retire.

I recognize the need to contain our federal budget, but we must first reduce high health care costs, ineffective government spending and tax loopholes.

Sincerely,

Borromeo Faith for Social Security

Borromeo Faith to Protect Medicare

America is unique in being a country settled and built by immigrants. It is unique in being a universal nation. Almost every country, every language, and every culture is represented here.

The first immigrants came to America to escape religious and political persecution. When our forefathers established this nation, they guaranteed religious freedom in the Constitution.

Now with that religious freedom, we shall work for social justice as citizens of this wonderful country.

"He has told you, O man, what is good, and what the Lord requires of you:

"Only to do justice and to love goodness, and to walk modestly with your God." (Mic 6.8)

"Let justice well up like water, righteousness like an unfailing stream." (Amos 5.24)

Our current activist cause is to protect Medicare from cuts and reduction of benefits.
