Thursday, 04 July 2013 05:28
On Tues/ July 2, 2013, in San Francisco, CARA (California Alliance of Retired Americans) and Union members enthusiastically joined hands in a 50-City 'Hands Off Our Social Security' 'No Chained CPI' human chain. People under and over 35 from throughout California symbolically held hands with the Nation then marched from Speaker Nancy Pelosi's Federal Bldg office down Market Street to Senator Diane Feinstein's headquarters. Holding signs reading, 'Don't Cut My Social Security,' they loudly demanded that Congress members and Senators vote No on something called the 'Chained CPI,' a formula that lets the Rich steal benefits Americans paid into so they can use Social Security, Medicaid, and Medi-Cal money for war.

As elder activist, Charlene Lilie told me during the march: 'They – The Rich - never miss a meal.'
