No increase in the retirement age. No privatization. No Social Security cuts.

Social Security is once again under attack. The White House debt commission co-chairs want to cut benefits and raise the retirement age. Wall Street billionaires are trashing it. Conservatives still want to privatize it.

But the American people know Social Security adds not a dime to the deficit.  And strong majorities – in poll after poll – say hands  off Social Security!

The politicians can't cut Social Security if we hold their feet to the fire, just like we did when President Bush tried it.

Campaign for America's Future, MoveOn.org, Democracy for America, Credo Action and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters are partnering to send a message to every Washington politician and candidate on the campaign trail.

Sign the petition and join the campaign by entering your information below, and we will take your message to the office holders and office seekers in your state and district.

Social Security belongs to the people who have worked hard all their lives and contributed to it. Social Security is a promise that must not be broken. If you pay in, then you earn the right to benefits for yourself, your spouse and your dependent children when you retire, experience a severe disability, or die.

We need to strengthen Social Security, not cut it. That is why I oppose any cuts to Social Security benefits, including increasing the retirement age. I also oppose any effort to privatize Social Security, in whole or in part.
This petition is no longer active.

If you are able to get your member of Congress or a candidate for office to make the promise, please email us at promise@ourfuture.org.

You can download the promise here.
