Sign the Petition below and tell Rep. Erik Paulsen we will not tolerate his Tea Party-line voting.
Representative Erik Paulsen voted to voucherize Medicare and to privatize Social Security yet he refuses to face the people of the 3rd District. The citizens of the 3rd District repeatedly asked him to explain his voting record but he continually avoids public forums where he would have to answer to his constituents about his plans to gut Medicare and risk Social Security on the stock market.
Mr. Paulsen signed on to the dangerous Paul Ryan budget, aligning himself with the Tea Party and putting hardworking Americans’ futures at risk. Paulsen wants to hide the fact that his policies are destroying the middle class, and would leave seniors and the disabled less secure.
Tell Mr. Paulsen we will not stand by and let that happen. Sign the petition and join us in asking PAULSEN TO DEFEND HIS RECORD OF VOTING TO END SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE as we know it.

It seems like the only opportunity to hear Erik Paulsen speak is a town hall meeting held during church at 11:00 on Sunday and to which I am invited at 11:05 on Sunday. This has happened numerous times. I guess this means he really doesn't want me to attend and he certainly doesn't want to know what I think.
Stop telling us you're going to protect medicare and social security by privatizing it or giving us vouchers. We are not stupid. We know your goal is to kill both programs and privatizing and vouchering will do just that.
If you support privatizing Social Security and tie medicare to vouchers, I pledge to personally go door to door in your district to let voters know what you have done.
How would you feel work all your life and pay into social security and depend on it to get by on and to old to get a job then someone takes it away from you. Sounds like stories from the Great Depression
We paid into Social Security our entire working lives, don't take away something that we have paid for. I am now retired and I now count on my investment in Social Security help make ends meet.
seniors need these programs in order to survive! Cutting. eliminating or privatizing them will mean certain death and poverty for the elderly who have worked hard and served this country with heart and soul! Shame on anyone who wants to disrespect and disenfranchise the most vulnerable of this nation's citizens!
Rep. Paulsen: please explain your positions on Medicare and Social Security? And don't send out campaign literature saying you support seniors even as you vote against them.

Social Security and Medicare are my nation's promise that I can live in relative financial security. It probably doesn't seem like much to you but I've met my part of the deal and I expect you to enforce that deal.
