Nearly nine out of ten seniors are collecting Social Security benefits each month. They've earned these benefits throughout their lives, and they deserve to age with dignity.

Today is the anniversary of this popular program. It has been going strong since 1940, bolstered by the addition of Medicare in 1965.

With increasing life expectancy and the aging of the Baby Boomer generation — it's time to update the system so Social Security benefits continue to be there for future generations.

Our children and grandchildren deserve to reap the benefits of their hard work as they age. Sign my petition: Tell Congress to protect Social Security.

Some national Republicans have said we need "entitlement reform," which usually means gutting or privatizing Social Security.

I say NO! People have earned these benefits. It's been promised to them, and they've worked hard for it.

Please add your name: Tell Congress to protect Social Security.

Thank you for standing with me,

Suzanne
