Please protect older Americans who have worked hard to make this country great.

Mr. President, retirees have worked hard and paid into Social Security all of their working lives. Many have Social Security as their only source of income. We now see that you are about to take back your campaign promise, "The President is committed to protecting and strengthening Social Security—and securing the basic compact that hard work should be rewarded with dignity at retirement..." http://www.whitehouse.gov/issues/seniors-and-social-security

"Attendees (at a White House dinner March 6, 2013) said the president also endorsed a new way to calculating inflation that would result in reducing Social Security benefits over time -- something many Democratic lawmakers strongly oppose."
