<DIV> </DIV>Dear Friend,<BR><BR>According to the New York Times, President
Obama is poised to propose cuts to Social Security and Medicare benefits in the
budget he'll unveil on Wednesday. <BR><BR>It's really hard to fathom why the
president is working so hard to preemptively cave on these core issues. There is
nothing smart, tough or pragmatic about proposing policies that will push more
seniors into poverty. And this is especially the case when the proposed policies
are deeply, deeply unpopular. <BR><BR>Cutting benefits is opposed by an
overwhelming majority of Americans. And if the American people really wanted a
president who would start to dismantle our Social Security system or cut
Medicare benefits, it'd be Mitt Romney in office, not Barack Obama. <BR><BR>Tell
President Obama: Benefit cuts are wrong, and they're not what we voted for.
