House Republicans are in the process of drafting an alternative budget proposal. Nothing has been finalized but the representative who will write the proposal, Representative Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, has a draft that includes the end of Medicare as we know it, replacing it with a system of vouchers for seniors to buy private insurance. Also included is a plan to privatize social security, turning your savings over to the wall street speculators who caused the recent financial collapse.
It is urgent that you contact Peter Roskam today and tell him to reject any plan that would take away your Medicare and Social Security.
You can contact Peter Roskam in Washington at (202) 225-4561 or in Bloomingdale at (630) 893-9670.

Certainly the Obama/Reid/Pelosi plan moving through Congress is much preferable to seniors. It would only cut $500 million from medicare, and does nothing to stem the future bankruptcy of the system. It will also saddle our kids with mountains of debt. Reform indeed.
