Social Security Benefits and COLA

ARE YOU CONCERNED BECAUSE YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY CHECKS DO NOT KEEP UP WITH SKYROCKETING MEDICARE PREMIUMS, PRESCIPTIONS, FOOD, FUEL, INSURANCE AND HEALTH CARE COST?
We older Americans need to make sure the COLA does the job it was designed to do--something that is more important than ever as costs keep rising
COLA IS FAILING TO DO ITS JOB!!!
It is a fact that for 24 years, government officials have known there is a major flaw in the way COLA is calculated and have not corrected it. Now there is legislation before congress that will make this correction--that will a larger and more fair annual COLA
This is not "extra" money--but the benefit to which you are entitled.
YOU EARNED IT AND SHOULD RECEIVE IT!!!!!
Your recent Social Security COLA was 2.3% about 20$ less than last year.
Legislation now before congress would correct the COLA calculation to more accurately reflect the buying patterns of older Americans. Over 100 Members of congress gave their written support to this change during the last session of Congress, and in a major effort to increase support for current COLA bills.
BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT IS PAYING YOU LESS THAN IT SHOULD YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY BUYING POWER IS DROPPING AS HEALTHCARE, PRESCRIOPTIONS, INSURANCE, FOOD AND OTHER COSTS RISE I AM SURE YOU FEEL THE REDUCTION IN YOUR BUYING POWER.
BEING IN MALDEN AN URGENT APPPEAL URGE YOUR MEMBER OF CONGRESS U.S. REPRESENTIVE MARKEY AND U.S. SENATORS SENATORS KENNEDY AND KERRY TO VOTE FOR LEGISLATION NOW IN CONGRESS TO HELP CORRECT A MAJOR FLAW IN THE WAY YOUR COCIAL SECURITY IS CALCULATED?
