Tell Durbin Hands Off Social Security
IL residents should call Durbin's office and tell him hands off Social Security other than raising the cap.

202-224-2152

Others should call the DSCC and say no more contributions if Durbin and other Dems goes through with this.

-----------------------------------------
And while other top Democrats say Social Security should be untouched, Durbin says Social Security changes should be made now.

"You have the House Republican budget from Congressman Paul Ryan, who I know and like, which is going to be placed somewhere on the right side of the spectrum. You have the president's suggestion, which will be on the other side of the spectrum. And if and when we reach an agreement, it will be in the middle, a bipartisan effort, which I think has a chance to succeed," Durbin said in an interview for ABC News' "Subway Series."

3.  Durbin is essentially "representing" all Democrats
as a member of the Gang of 6, so is it out of line to call his office even if we're not from IL?
Is it against some protocol and they will disregard the calls?

5. Called DSCC
Talked with a staffer who agreed with me. But he said the DSCC doesn't make policy. I said but you donate to Dems. He said ""yes" and I said, "Well, don't give him any more."
