Republicans Privatize Social Security

Yes, in their own words, they will privatize Social Security.  This is what the voters of Pennsylvania voted for when they elected Toomey.  Yes, Tea Party members and Patriots, you will have to hand over your Social Security to the thieves on Wall Street and you can kiss your Medicare good-bye.  And you voted for this because there is a black man in the white house.  Sorry to say that racism is alive and well in the “guns and Jesus” parts of Pennsylvania.

One more thing, Tea Party members and Patriots, you better start bottling your water because once the gas drillers come into your neighborhood, your water will not be safe to drink.  This is what will happen because you voted for Republicans to control Harrisburg and they support the rights of the gas drillers and NOT your rights.  Fools.

All Politics Are Local

This letter was forwarded to me by a friend.   In order to protect identities, some information was removed.

Dear ________ Township Democrat,

The coming election on November 2nd is the most important in the past ten years and may be the most important in your lifetime. There are forces at work to see to it that Democratic turnout remains low so that the Republicans can engineer their dream in Pennsylvania and the nation. And what is their dream and what does it mean to you and your family? Republican candidates across the country have articulated this dream in many ways but it comes down to this:

Shredding and dismantling the social safety nets of Social Security, Medicare, and benefits to Veterans

More attacks on our Constitutional rights                           Continued outsourcing of US jobs

More attacks on women’s rights and the poor                   Endless witch hunts in the House

Recklessly mishandling the economy                                    Failure to regulate Wall Street

Saying NO to all legislation, unless it is to extend tax cuts for the rich

 Their notion of shrinking government, as if it were somehow the enemy of the people is expressed as ‘privatizing’ or ‘personalizing’ Social Security to eventually get rid of it and turning back the clock to the ‘good old days’ of the 1800’s where bank panics like the one of 2008 were regular occurrences.

So what is their strategy? It starts in Washington and it ends in places like____Township with voters like you.  The mailers you have been receiving attacking Dave Kessler are part of a national campaign to take control of our state government so that they can impose their congressional redistricting plan on Pennsylvania.  They are targeting this seat to get a Republican majority in Harrisburg.

Don’t be fooled. Republicans are not on your side, and they hope you stay home on Nov.2. Democrats support “Economic Patriotism” which means, Products Made in America , Jobs for Americans, and protections for  the environment and security for the vulnerable.  

Get out and vote for Democrats to keep the right wing fringe of the Republican Party and the Tea Party from taking over our government.

Vote For:

Dan Onorato – Governor State of Pennsylvania  http://www.voteonorato.com

Joe Sestak – US Senate  http://joesestak.com/Home/Home.html

Tim Holden  – US Congress  http://timholden.com/

Republican Social Security Plan

The Republican Social Security plan will reduce benefits by as much as 50% for young people entering the work force.

The younger generation should NOT be denied full benefits.  This is unfair treatment.  Republicans are the “I have mine and it’s all about me.”

Not only do Republicans want to hand our money over to the Wall Street Banker thieves, they also want to deny benefits to workers that paid for these benefits.

“The new analysis reveals that these proposals result in benefits cuts ranging from 10% to as high as 50%,” said Rep. Earl Pomeroy (D., N.D.), one of the Democrats who requested the study. “That’s not what I’d call ’saving’ Social Security.”

Social Security will not go broke if American have jobs.  A big contributing part of the government deficits is reduced income as a result of increased unemployment.  Give Americans jobs and the government income will increase.  Also, raise the income cap for Social Security contributions.

Remember, Toomey wants to privatize Social Security.

BUY AMERICAN.  IT’S ECONOMIC PATRIOTISM.

What President Clinton Said

Here is a statement made by President Bill Clinton:

“We have a practical, progressive, common-sense moderate who has actually done things and actually has a plan, running against a man with radical ideas and no record to back it up, no evidence that anything works that they’re advocating, who has embraced an agenda that will add a trillion dollars to the debt, not reduce the deficit and not create jobs, but let us go back to what got us in trouble in the first place,” Clinton said.

(h/t TomP at DailyKos)

This statement was made in reference to Jack Conway (D) vs. Rand Paul (TeaParty R). What’s interesting is that the same can be said about Joe Sestak (D) vs. Pat Toomey (Club for Growth R).

Joe Sestak is a practical, progressive, common-sense moderate that has a plan for jobs whereas Pat Toomey is a radical with an agenda that will add trillions of dollars to the debt, will not reduce the deficit and will not create jobs. Toomey’s policies will take us back to the what got us in trouble in the first place.

Once again, seniors will NOT be getting an increase in their Social Security payments. However, Toomey’s Corporate friends will make record bonuses this year. Toomey wants to hand over our Social Security money to his friends on Wall Street so that they can make even bigger bonuses while gambling away our Social Security money. If Toomey wins, seniors will be eating MORE cat food.

Republicans have already stated that if they disclose their economic plan to the voters, they will LOSE this election. Have you noticed the large number of Republicans avoiding tough questions from the media? Instead of telling voters the truth, they cut and run.

Social Security Pledge

Sign the Social Security Pledge.

I wonder if Gerlach and Toomey will sign this pledge or will they stick with their “personalize (privatized) accounts” pledge?

Rick Santorum Loves Entitlements

You betcha!  Rick really enjoyed receiving his paycheck and health care benefits paid for by the taxpayers and then stealing from a small school district in Pennsylvania by lying about his residence.  Former senator Rick Santorum fought for torte reform while at the same time his wife sued two doctors.  Yeah, torte reform is good for everyone except the Santorums.  Now he is out their telling us to trust “Club for Growth” Pat Toomey, the thieving Wall Street Bankers’ best friend.  Why should we put our faith in anything that Rick Santorum says?  He was wrong when he was in the Senate and he is still wrong today.  Toomey would dismantle Social Security which means that old people will be back living in the streets or living with their children.  Social Security is one of the entitlements that Toomey wants to destroy.  The other would be Medicare.  Without Medicare, people 65 and older would have to choose between seeing their doctors and paying for their medications or buying food.  Toomey would vote AGAINST extending unemployment insurance benefits so if you can’t find a job, Toomey would just tell you, “Too bad, too sad, you lazy bum.”  Yet Toomey wants YOU to give him a job with excellent health benefits while denying the same benefit to his constituents.

The choice is clear.  Vote for Joe Sestak in November and PROTECT OUR RIGHTS.

And here’s a video showing Santorum disrespecting our President.  He told us that we were unpatriotic if we spoke out against Bush yet, he is calling our President Hitler.  Progressives were never this disrespectful.

The Real Pat Toomey Part 1

The Club for Growth, a Washingon Lobbyest funded organization endorses Pat Toomey because Pat Toomey believes in limited government.  Translated, Pat Toomey will do the following if elected:

  • Dismantle Social Security by handing over taxpayers money to the Wall Street Bandits,
  • Expand Death Panels by dismantling Medicare and Medicaid by creating a voucher system that will not cover the cost of Insurance premiums.  This is a hand-off of taxpayers money to Insurance companies.

Any Tea Party member that is tired of government handouts, will NOT vote for Toomey because Toomey talks the talk but he is nothing more than a Republican that rewards his rich friends with taxpayers money.  In the meantime, the average American gets screwed, again.  If you liked the Wall Street bailout, then you will love the Toomey Wall Street handover of our tax dollars.

Make room for your parents because when they lose their Social Security, they will be moving in with you.  As for any inheritance, that money will go to the Insurance companies.   That is what Pat Toomey offers.  He will be another suit in Washington DC, stealing tax payers money.  If you think the economy is bad now, it will only get worse if Pat Toomey gets elected.

Don’t let Toomey fool you by saying that he is center right.  Anyone that wants to put doctors in jail for treating their patients is NOT anywhere near the center and is a fascist.   Toomey is far, far right.

Toomey will take away our freedoms.

Here’s Toomey on the issues… he would restrict bankruptcy rules meaning, he voted to make it more difficult to file for bankruptcy.  Now that is helping Wall Street and voting against the best interest of the people of Pennsylvania.  Yes, Toomey wants to keep feeding those fat cat bankers big bonuses even though we want our money back.

Rated 20% by the ARA, indicating an anti-senior voting record. (Dec 2003)

Toomey is anti-senior.
