Pledge to Strengthen Social Security

I pledge to the people of my district and to the American people that I will work to strengthen retirement security, including Social Security.

I will oppose Social Security privatization proposals that would:

1. Require cuts in guaranteed benefits to pay for private accounts.

2. Weaken the system by diverting money from the Social Security Trust Fund to pay for private accounts.

3. Increase the federal deficit to pay for private accounts.

4. Increase the retirement age to pay for private accounts.
