Call to Action: Ask the Washington Post to Include Social Security in its 2016 Voter Guide

Social Security is becoming even more important in Georgia and throughout the country. Over 1.6 million Georgians receive Social Security benefits and these benefits serve as the only source of income for one in three Georgians age 65 and older. If our leaders don’t act, future retirees could lose up to $10,000 a year. That is why AARP has been asking the Presidential candidates and elected officials to Take a Stand and share their plans to make Social Security financially sound for future generations.

As an issue which stands to impact so many Americans, it is disappointing that the Washington Post did not include Social Security among the topics in its 2016 Voters Guide. Voters deserve to know how their candidates feel about this important topic so they can cast their ballots accordingly. Help protect the money you’ve earned and urge the Washington Post to include this critical issue in its 2106 Voters Guide. For more information and to sign the petition, click here .
