Vote out those who don't give COLA raise

When you go to the polls in November, remember now is the time to vote for the changes you want.

For the second year in a row, those on Social Security or SSI/disability, or any kind of disability, won't be getting a raise. If you have any one you care about, ask them about inflation. You cannot tell me that in two years there was no increase in the inflation rate.

They say that Social Security is more than $1,000 per month. But what they don't tell you is that SSI/disability is only around $650 a month. With that, you have to pay your bills, that is, rent and food, and utilities, if not included in your rent.

Those in Washington, D.C., seem to be out of touch. I'll bet you if they had to live on the money that they think we can survive on that they would vote themselves a pay raise. But if you are old or disabled, you mean nothing.

So vote out the ones who are doing this to our loved ones. And replace them with ones who care. If they don't do the job, vote them out next time, until we get the ones we need.

I am an independent but am asking you to vote for the Republicans and take the power away from the Democrats.
