NATIONWIDE CENSUS ABOUT SOCIAL SECURITY

The Social Security Preservation Act

 

Dear Census Recipient,

 

You have been selected to participate in a nationwide census about Social Security, with the results to be issued to the 113th Congress of the United States.

 

This Census is being issued to a representative portion of the United States, with no more than 4% of the population being selected to represent the whole.

 

Given that you have been selected for participation, it is imperative that you respond as accurately as possible and respond within the next ten days. Your authorized Census Number will be valid for exactly 15 days from the receipt of this letter. You are being asked to provide input regarding the state of Social Security in support of a national campaign for reform.

 

Do you believe that Social Security is a sacred promise made to the American people by the government? Or do you think that Social Security is a political issue?

 

If you do believe that Social Security is a sacred promise of our government and you want your benefits to be protected, then the enclosed Census is critical to you.

 

You are undoubtedly well aware of the fact that the Social Security is already overburdened and insolvent. The Social Security and Medicare Trustees, the Social Security Administration and the Federal Reserve Board have all already made it clear that Social Security reform must be made a top priority to avoid the crash of the entire system.

 

But there are still many in Washington, D.C. who seem to believe that Social Security is a political issue... and they are blocking all reform efforts.

 

That is why this nationwide Census is so critical. With your responses on the enclosed Census, you will provide information needed to help direct Congress towards some kind of action to reform Social Security.

 

Without your Census, members of Congress are more likely to continue to ignore the escalating problem, making it a political issue and refusing to take action towards reform.

 

I ask you to carefully consider: Do you want politicians to continue to have complete access to the Social Security Trust Fund, draining your retirement savings?

 

As a United States taxpayer, this directly concerns you. These are your funds, taxed by our government to be set aside for your retirement future.

 

But instead of honoring that agreement, right now Congress is draining the Social Security Trust Fund with no repercussions.

 

Let me be perfectly clear, Congress isn't taking a few thousand dollars from only your personal account... they have taken an incredible $2.049 TRILLION from the Social Security Trust Fund for needless pork projects and political paybacks.

 

And unless you take action to provide immediate pressure for Social Security reform, they will drain another $186 BILLION this year.

 

This is not a problem that Congress can continue to ignore – although that is what many big-spender political hot-shots are hoping that you will do – continue to ignore this crisis so that they can continue to stick their hands in the cookie jar of the Trust Fund.

 

The Social Security Preservation Act and similar measures supported by conservatives would:

 

   Create a Social Security surplus that would ensure that Social Security benefits could be paid for decades to come, providing benefits to your children and grandchildren;

 

  Block politicians from raiding money that has been expressly set aside for Social Security;

 

   Prevent Congress from raising taxes on Social Security benefits – given that that is money that was already taxed.

 

That is why the Census you are holding in your hands is so critical. The National Retirement Security Task Force is the authorized issuer of this nationwide Census, and as such has been designated to process your Census for delivery to the 113th Congress.

 

But the results of this Census must be processed for delivery within the next fifteen days – so that the American people are given the best opportunity to weigh in to the debate...

 

...before the legislative calendar is set for the year and Social Security reform is either tabled or scheduled on the docket...

 

...to prevent needed Social Security reform from being ignored for yet another year.

 

Please immediately complete your Census and return it to the National Retirement Security Task Force for processing with your generous contribution of $25, $50, $100, $500, or even $1,000 to help.

 

It is a costly endeavor for the National Retirement Security Task Force to issue, process and deliver this information to Congress – not to mention the importance of continuing to apply pressure for Congress to take action on reform – despite the political blockade against it.

 

Your generous contribution, whether it is $25 or $500, will help the National Retirement Security Task Force protect your retirement security – before it's too late.

 

Again, since the National Retirement Security Task Force could not reach the billions of taxpayers in the United States who this issue directly affects, an estimated 1% - 4% of people were selected to represent the many.

 

You have the honor of being one of the selected few to provide immediate input to Congress. Please remember that you are representing many. And please consider the cost of inaction could be our retirement security and benefits.

 

Thank you for your participation,

Amy M. Ridenour, Director

 

P.S.   Through your participation in this Nationwide Census on Social Security, you have the power to prevent Congress from draining another $186 BILLION from the Social Security Trust Fund – directly taking your Social Security benefits. Please do not waste this opportunity. [Request for and] Return your completed Census along with your generous contribution to the National Retirement Security Task Farce to help protect your benefits. Thank you (NRSTF, P.O. Box 96465, Washington, D.C. 20077- 7396).

REGISTERED SOCIAL SECURITY SURVEY

Social Security benefits...siphoned off by greedy politicians

 

Dear Concerned Senior,

 

I need only two things from you right now -- Your honest answers and your commitment to the National Retirement Security Task Force.

 

But first, let me ask you: do you want your Social Security benefits to continue as scheduled? Do you want billions -- yes, you heard right, BILLIONS -- of your tax dollars to continue to be siphoned off by greedy politicians? And do you want to ensure that the liberals irresponsible approach, which could destroy and bankrupt Social Security is stopped?

 

I am hoping that you will tell me exactly what you think. That's why I've sent you the enclosed REGISTERED SOCIAL SECURITY SURVEY to complete and mail back to me immediately.

 

I urge you to give me your honest answers. I ask you to tell me your real opinions about the liberals in Congress and your concerns about your money. And I urge you to mail this SURVEY back to me as soon as possible.

 

Please accept my gratitude for your participation in this SURVEY in advance. I know I am asking a lot of you. In essentially making you a senior delegate and responsible for helping to guide our Social Security reform work, I've put responsibility on your shoulders.

 

But we have never been at a more critical juncture for our retirement future than we are right now. And I want the country's best, brightest and most committed seniors to be part of the reform and restructuring... so it may be action now; no regrets later.

 

If you look at the SURVEY, you'll see that it's registered to you exclusively and that your responses will represent many. No one else has your same computer-coded registration number. I am depending on your answers to help me determine how to continue to fight for Social Security.

 

As the liberals and big-spenders push to continue spending Social Security funds on pork barrel projects and government programs having nothing to do with Social Security, I want to know if you want me to fight to stop them.

 

I ask you to tell me now if you want me to make doing so my top priority. And, while some in Congress continue to talk about increasing Social Security taxes -- sharply, in some cases... I ask you to tell me now if you want me to spend most of our resources fighting this tax hike.

 

Frankly, I look to our supporters and allies for guidance to tell me how to focus our efforts. Should we put most of our time and effort into telling Americans that Social Security was under funded by $55 billion in 2012 alone?

 

That if a responsible Social Security reform and rescue plan is not put into place as soon as possible, benefit cuts of at least 27 percent or a 50 percent increase in Social Security taxes, or some combination of these, is nearly inevitable?

 

Maybe you think I should go head-to-head against the Barack Obama left-wing liberals who dangerously seek to protect the status quo by claiming there is no Social Security crisis?

 

Let me be clear. I urge you to help right now. Tell me what you think. I ask you to complete your REGISTERED SURVEY I've enclosed for you.

 

Tell me the truth and then let me fight for that truth. Because, with the truth on one side, and you and others from all 50 states standing beside me on the other, we are far stronger in this battle.

 

This SURVEY is registered to you and I am depending on you to rush it back to me without delay so that we don't waste a moment.

 

To help in these trying times even more, when you [request for and] return your SURVEY, please include your most generous $250, $100, $50 or $25 tax-deductible contribution to the National Retirement Security Task Force.

 

I desperately need your financial support to help me put your answers into immediate actions. BUT I CAN'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL I HAVE YOUR COMPLETED SURVEY AND YOUR URGENT $250, $100, $50 OR $25 CONTRIBUTION BACK. Please hurry. Again, thank you for your commitment!

 

With Sincere Gratitude,

Amy M. Ridenour

Director

 

P.S.   Remember, today, I want only two things from you -- Your commitment to the National Retirement Security Task Force and THE TRUTH!

 

Do you want your Social Security benefits to continue as scheduled? Do you want billions of your tax dollars to continue to be siphoned off by greedy politicians?

 

Please [request for Survey and] answer these questions, as well as others related to the future of Social Security, right now! Thank you for your commitment and prompt action (NRSTF, P.O. Box 96465, Washington, D.C. 20077- 7396).

Support of a Social Security "lockbox"

Prevent any future "raids" on the Social Security Trust Fund

 

Dear Senior,

 

For the sake of your future as a senior American, I must ask you to read, sign and return both of the enclosed documents to me immediately. Here's why:

 

1.   We're as close as we've ever been to a permanent safeguard for the Social Security Trust Fund and I need your immediate help to get through a major roadblock -- THE UNITED STATES SENATE.

 

2.   There is little time left -- and our conservative leaders need your support now more than ever in the war to repeal ObamaCare.

 

First, please sign the Petition to your Senator in support of a Social Security "lockbox"... which would ensure that Social Security surpluses are used for Social Security ONLY.

 

This vital lockbox is the first step in a series of steps needed to truly prevent any future "raids" on the Social Security Trust Fund... Make no mistake: this step is needed immediately.

 

For decades now, the government has raided the Social Security Trust Fund and left only useless IOUs. But if we can convince Congress to put a "lockbox" on Social Security, we can:

 

   Ensure that Social Security surpluses are saved not spent.

 

    Prevent Congress from ever again spending Social Security surpluses on corporate welfare and numerous other pork barrel spending programs.

 

    Prevent big-government from using worthless IOUs to mask the size of the budget deficit.

 

After years of abuse, these measures will help ensure that Social Security is there for you, as well as your children and grandchildren.

 

This is why I urgently need you to sign your Petition to your Senator TODAY. The second document that I ask you to sign is the Pledge of Allegiance to our Conservative Leaders in Washington. - - I ask you to sign your Pledge of Allegiance right now to show our Conservative allies in Congress that you support their efforts as they battle to repeal "ObamaCare."

 

Your signed Pledge and generous donation to the National Retirement Security Task Force will help me build much-needed support for our Conservative Leadership as they confront the biggest health care crisis America has faced in decades.

 

Let me be clear: OUR CONSERVATIVE ALLIES NEED YOUR HELP TODAY. Not tomorrow... not next week... right now!!

 

Because right now, they are battling the most powerful liberals in Congress for the future of our health care... liberals who have enacted a very dangerous socialized health care scheme, a very real threat to the future of our health care as you and I know it!

 

This is why I so desperately need your Pledge of Allegiance to our Conservative Leaders today and urgent donation...

 

If we don't support our Conservative allies now -- while we battle to repeal ObamaCare -- the radicals liberals will gain control over our health care!

 

I value your commitment to the future of America's health care, and I value your commitment to Social Security. That is why I trust in you to act NOW. And that is why you must follow my instructions carefully:

 

1.   Sign both your Petition to your Senator and your Pledge of Allegiance to our Conservative Leaders;

 

2.   Place them in the enclosed reply envelope, affixing your own stamp to the envelope. (I will forward both documents to your Senator and Conservative allies in Congress.)

 

3.   Include your urgent and generous donation to the National Retirement Security Task Force so that I can continue fighting for Social Security reform and our efforts to help repeal ObamaCare.

 

In these troubled times, I know I can count on you to answer my urgent call to action today with your [requested] two signed documents and urgent donation today. Thank you. God Bless you and God Bless America.

 

Sincerely Yours,

Amy M. Ridenour, Director

 

P.S.   Your signature on both documents -- as well as your vital donation to the National Retirement Security Task Force are needed immediately, my friend. Please don't delay your swift response. Thank you again (NRSTF, P.O. Box 96465, Washington, D.C. 20077- 7396).

Congressional Liberals are sacrificing Medicare

 

Dear Senior,

 

[11-2013 letter] Brace yourself – the urgent news I have cannot wait. What is occurring right now in our nation's capitol is so shocking and devastating...

 

...I wanted to send out quick note myself to you – not waiting until I get to the office tomorrow. Bottom line: time is up. I thought you and I would have more time to fight for our Medicare – for Social Security... but time is up...

 

...I trust you with my life. I trust you with your own life. Because in like manner of speaking, that is what is at stake – the retirement security of every single American.

 

Lives are at stake. If seniors have to choose between food or medical care... it is a choice that could end lives. If seniors are forced to go without needed Social Security payments because the program is bankrupt... that is a choice that could end lives.

 

And when seniors are forced into socialized medicine system – that is a choice that could end lives. The time to prepare for the fight is up. The time to act is now...

 

...Congressional Liberals are sacrificing Medicare on their universal health care altar, and the consequences are dire.

 

If Congressional Liberals continue to spend our Nation into dept, while ignoring the fact that Social Security is nearly bankrupt the consequences will be grave.

 

And if Congressional Liberals continue to shutdown all Conservative reform measures and debate – the consequences for every American will be calamitous. Time is up. That is why it is essential that the National Retirement Security Task Force receive urgent financial support within the next 120 hours...

 

Five days to prevent the disaster of Liberals draining the Social Security Trust Fund to pay for useless programs. 120 hours to stop Congressional Liberals from putting Medicare on the chopping block to pay for pork. 120 hours to mobilize our Nation to rise up in protest... Please rush whatever you can to avert disaster (NRSTF, P.O. Box 96465, Washington, D.C. 20077- 7396).

 

In gratitude for you...

Amy Ridenour, Director
