Sign the petition: Thanks Obama for supporting expanding Social Security

While pundits and politicians talk about cutting Social Security, in real life declining 401(K) packages and home values mean more and more Americans won't have the savings they need for retirement.

On June 1, 2016, President Obama came out in favor of expanding Social Security:

"We can't afford to weaken Social Security, we should be strengthening Social Security. And not only do we need to strengthen its long term health, it's time we finally made Social Security more generous and increased its benefits so today's retirees and future generations get the dignified retirement that they have earned."

President Obama added that we can expand Social Security by asking the "wealthiest Americans to contribute a little bit more."

This is something that progressives have argued for years, and we are delighted to see the President supporting this crucial step.

Sign the petition thanking President Obama for his leadership, and pushing Congress to expand Social Security.
