Preserving and Strengthening Our Commitment to Seniors.  Congressman Meeks has never wavered in his commitment to protecting and preserving Social Security and Medicare for current and future generations of Americans.  He strongly supported the Democratic budget plan for fiscal year 2005 because it would have allowed our nation to strengthen Social Security and Medicare, pay down the national debt, invest in crucial priorities such as education, social safety net programs for the uninsured and elderly, and our national defense/homeland security. 

Congressman Meeks successfully opposed President Bush and GOP efforts to privatize Social Security, thereby keeping our promise to seniors.
