VICTORY: Hillary Clinton Commits to Never Cut Social Security
Updated On: Feb 21, 2016
" Hillary Clinton clarified her position that she, like Bernie Sanders, will oppose all Social Security benefits cuts, including, of course, raising the retirement age which is an across the board benefit cut. Expanding, not cutting, Social Security is profoundly wise policy and what an overwhelming majority of Americans want.”
Statement from Stephanie Taylor, Co-Founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee
“This is a huge victory for American seniors. Today, after thousands of Progressive Change Campaign Committee and Social Security Works members took action– Hillary Clinton took cuts to Social Security off the table. Now, we can finally move to the conversation we should be having in a Democratic primary: how to best expand Social Security.”
Today’s victory came just as online ads from the Progressive Change Campaign Committee and Social Security Works were announced to blanket New Hampshire. See the ads: http://boldprogressives.org/?p=11683
Thousands of people have also signed a petition in the last 36 hours calling on Sec. Clinton to promise never to cut Social Security: ExpandSocialSecurity.org.
