Social Security Up for Election?

MORE THAN 53 MILLION AMERICANS DEPEND ON SOCIAL SECURITY TODAY

Since President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Social Security into law in 1934, millions of American workers have earned benefits by paying into the system, creating a safety net that keeps retirees, survivors of workers who die young and people with disabilities and their families out of poverty.

This November, voters will decide the future of Social Security by the representatives they select. We need to get direct, truthful answers from the candidates on exactly where they stand on this important issue. SEPAC has in some cases and is currently reviewing the positions of and endorsed those candidates who support our issues.

Now it's up to you. In no other state is there as much at stake this year: Senator Feingold's Senate seat; two, possibly three Congressional races, the Governor's race and both houses of the WI legislature. Now, more than ever, we need to be one train, on one track going in one direction.

Please click on this link for the list of Member-to-Member Walks statewide for the rest of September. Phone Banks are also up and running and a list of those locations around the state is attached as well.

We need your help. Even if you are not an active or retiree union member, please join us in these election activities. Your help can make a vital difference.
