I'm in a Blue State, California.... [View all]

My Representative is Ted Lieu and my Senators are Adam Schiff and Alex Padilla......I'll call their offices to express my concern about Social Security.....But they are already doing what they can.

I just officially retired last year at 66 1/2 and Social Security is my main income. I still substitute teach but I HAVE to have my SS to live......And I've put into it since I was 16 y.o.!

I'm hoping all DU'ers will call their representatives as well. Especially those in Red States.
There's a long list of MAJOR concerns. I realize Social Security is just one of them. Somehow we need to create a groundswell...

I'm not very articulate this morning because I just feel so down (as do all of my friends - I mean we're bordering on depression).

I think I'll call other U.S. Senators' offices too (Lisa Murkowski, John Cornyn - I was born and raised in TX)....

If you've taken any offense in this post, please don't pile on me. I'm pretty fragile....
