Social Security Benefits Guarantee
Dear Senior,
I am
sending you the copy of this check to represent a warning: without immediate
action, future social security checks could stop because the system is
bankrupt.
I am
urging you to carefully consider what I an saying. Because, as the project chairman of the American Federation of Senior
Citizens, I am facing the sane frightening reality.
That's
why I an urging you -- with every ounce of energy I have left in my body --
please sign and return the enclosed Social
Security Benefits Guarantee.
I am
giving all I can possibly give of myself -- my time -- my energy -- to save
social security, but I an just one person. One soldier in this battle to save social security. I need
your urgent help...
The
enclosed Social Security Benefits Guarantee can make a profound difference in
this fight... but only if it bears your signature. And only
if it is delivered to congress within the next ten days.
The
moment I receive your signed Social Security Benefits Guarantee, I will rush it
along with hundreds -- thousands -- from American federation of senior citizens
members across the nation, directly to congress for immediate consideration.
Right
now congressional leaders are debating many issues, but Social security should
be at the top of the list. And, as always, the Obama liberals are advocating
status quo. The Obama liberals are content to let social security teeter ever
closer to disaster.
But
your signed Social Security Benefits
Guarantee will demand that congress secure your benefits. Your signed Social
Security Benefits Guarantee will be the proof that conservative leaders need to
enact immediate reform. And your signed social security benefits guarantee will
serve as a cautionary warning to Barack Obama...
...You
cannot just say that you intend to save Social Security -- you must actually do
it! But please -- sign your Social Security Benefits Guarantee now. And please
mail it back to me in the enclosed red-alert envelope so that I receive it
without any delay.
Why
am I begging you to take this simple action? Because I want you to seriously
consider the consequences of doing nothing in this crisis. The social security
benefits check I've sent isn't real... but the crisis we are facing is real!
I'm
sending this check because I want you to hold it in your hands and allow
yourself to think of how you would feel if this were your last social security
benefits check.
What
if the check at the top of my letter was really the last social security check?
What if the social security money you relied on for bills and food was suddenly
reduced? What if you had to find some way to survive because you no longer
could rely on the social security you have relied on?
Barack
Obama and his liberal pals in congress know that Social Security will soon be bankrupt if reform measures are not taken
immediately. And yet, Obama and the liberals in Congress are doing nothing
to prevent this catastrophe.
I
truly don't mean to frighten you and yet I am very afraid. With the Obama
big-government liberals continually dipping into the social security trust fund,
there is no guarantee what the future holds for Social Security.
I've
sent this check and Social Security Benefits Guarantee as a final warning.
Because without your urgent help -- without your recognition of the severity of
the crisis at hand -- I am terrified about the future of each and every
American's retirement security.
Let
me tell you why there is so little time -- why I am urging you to rush your
response to me as quickly as possible. Barack Obama and his liberal cronies are
attempting to let social security fall by the wayside while they push through
every socialist policy they can.
Even
though Barack Obama and the liberals in Washington have spent years endangering every American's
retirement future and Social Security benefits, they seem to believe that they can con the American
people into believing that they have consistently tried to save it.
But
the facts are clear: when a bipartisan group of legislators came forward with a
solid proposal for social security reform, do you remember what the liberals
did? They did nothing. And they are still doing nothing.
Instead
Barack Obama and the liberals in Washington continue to ignore the problem all the while
authorizing the federal government to use
Social Security money on whatever pork project they choose.
This
is beyond dangerous. This would mean certain disaster. Is this just my opinion?
No. The experts agree:
The
congressional budget office
the
general accounting office
the
congressional research service...
...Each
of these independent groups agree that the liberal
inaction continues us on the path toward total bankruptcy -- endangering your
benefits.
That's
why I am rushing this letter to you -- urging you to send your immediate help.
The American Federation of Senior Citizens is working to take the politics out
of social security.
Our
demand is simple: give the American people the hard-earned money that they
entrusted to you and keep the promise of social security.
I am
asking you to stand with me today to help guarantee future social security
benefits... this could be your final warning.
Please
rush your signed Social Security Benefits Guarantee and generous contribution
of $60, $40, or $20... to me in the enclosed red alert
envelope.
This
red alert envelope will ensure that the American Federation of Senior Citizens
staff separate your letter the moment it arrives and bring it to my immediate
attention.
This
red alert envelope will also help ensure that the post office gives your
response priority handling and delivers your urgent $60, $40, or $20 to me
without any delay. But please... hurry.
Anxiously
awaiting your reply,
Wanda
Powe, Project Chairman 97101,
P.S. I am
counting on you in this crisis. Please [request for and] rush your signed Social Security Benefits Guarantee back
to me along with your urgent donation -- whatever you can manage in this
crisis. Thank you (AFSC – FRC, P.O. Box 96414, Washington, D.C. 20090-6414 or P.O. Box, Washington, D.C. 20090-7101).

(Sample)
Social Security Benefits
Guarantee
Issued To The United States Congress
From: A
concerned Social Security recipient & American Federation of Senior
Citizens member
Re: Demand for Guarantee of future
Social Security benefits
As An American citizen and concerned
senior:
I demand that the United States Government keep the solemn
promise it made to the American people when Social Security was established;
I demand that the hard-earned money I paid into the
Social Security program be dutifully returned to me now in my retirement years;
I demand to have my Social Security Benefits Guaranteed;
I demand immediate Social Security reform;
I demand that the Social Security Trust Fund be
declared off-limits for political spending and the federal budget;
I demand that my Representatives in Congress now take
action on my behalf to prevent the imminent bankruptcy of the Social Security
System;
And finally, I demand that the whole United States Congress work together to institute the conservative
reforms which are critical to the protection of Social Security.
Sincerely,
