Hands Off Social Security,
Medicare, and Medicaid!
Protest Deficit Commission Chairs
Simpson and Bowles
Tuesday, March 6, 7 PM,
Paramount Theater, OAKLAND.
2025 Broadway between
20th & 21st Street. (19th St. BART)
People from San Francisco meet at 6
PM to take BART to Oakland.
We'll assemble at Civic Center
BART entrance by the Orpheum Theater.
It's on the north side of Market
St. between Hyde & UN Plaza.
The chairs of Obama's Deficit
Commission, Alan Simpson and Erskine Bowles, are on the lecture
circuit rallying the 1% to implement their programs of (1) slashing
Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, (2) putting a cap on ALL
federal revenue, to keep the safety net permanently in tatters, (3)
further reducing taxes on the rich and increasing them for us, (4)
taxing health insurance that has adequate benefits, and (5) cutting
veterans health benefits.

Though Bowles and Simpson were
unable to get Commissioner's votes to force Congress to vote their
plan up or down, they are still touring the country promoting their
plan to audiences paying hundreds of dollars to see them.
Join the California Alliance for
Retired Americans (CARA) and many other groups for an informational
picket and press briefing to challenge these proposals. As more of us
lose jobs and housing, and fall into poverty and hunger, Bowles and
Simpson are using the deficit as a phony excuse to cut our services
and safety net:
** It's wars to control oil, tax
cuts to corporations and the rich, and bank bailouts that caused the
deficit!
** Social Security does not add a
cent to the deficit.
** Medicare and Medicaid add to the
debt only because corporate healthcare refuses to let Medicare cover
everyone with equal comprehensive healthcare.
