Resolution on the fight to preserve Medicare, Social Security and Medicaid as we know it

WHEREAS the election in November is really a fight to preserve Medicare, Social Security and Medicaid as we know them; and

WHEREAS President Obama supports the preservation of these three essential social and economic programs that have proven over the years to be America’s most successful programs; and

WHEREAS Ryan/Romney if elected would abandon Medicare and Social Security as we know them in order to privatize these programs to the benefit of private insurance companies while costing seniors thousands of dollars to maintain their health coverage; therefore be it

RESOLVED that we urge all seniors to be aware when voting on November 6 that they will be voting either to preserve Medicare, Social Security and Medicare as we know them or to give up these successful programs in order to privatize them for the benefit of private companies while compelling seniors to pay thousands of dollars to maintain their health coverage.
