If your Senator’s name is on the list, please contact him/her ASAP.
MoveOn’s list also contains the names of Senators who are firmly on our side, and the names of three Senators who are listed as “weak-kneed.” (Who could have imagined Joe Leiberman’s name being on that list?)
Also, one of the diarists at Democratic Underground pointed out we should recognize the efforts of organizations who are listed on MoveOn.org's release. If you have time, you might contact them to express your gratitude for their efforts. Many other groups are involved in this effort to prevent SSN, Medicare, and Medicaid from being included in the negotiations between Boehner and the White House and we are grateful for their efforts, AARP, being one of the more prominent entities.

From MoveOn.org:
BREAKING: The deal proposed by the White House includes a major cut to Social Security benefits. To keep in good faith with constituents, we're counting on all signers of the Sanders letter on Social Security--and all Democrats--to do everything in their power to stop this deal. Your calls are needed now. Please call your Democratic Senators and Senate Leader Harry Reid and ask them: "Can I count on you to do everything in your power to stop this deal if it includes the reported cuts to Social Security benefits?"
