The National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare (NCPSSM) is a United States advocacy group whose stated goal is to fight to protect Social Security and Medicare. It is led by Max Richtman. It is a nonpartisan, nonprofit 501 (c) (4) organization representing millions of members and supporters nationwide. The mission of the NCPSSM is to "protect, preserve, promote, and ensure the financial security, health, and the well being of current and future generations of Americans" which it does with "candidate endorsements, incumbent ratings, grassroots activity, issue advertising, and, of course, campaign contributions." In particular the NCPSSM 's "agenda" is "highlighted" by opposition to Social Security “privatization,” (which would allow people to put part of their Social Security benefits into private investment accounts), and support for prescription drug benefits in Medicare.

—Benjamin Haydon (1786–1846)
“Could it not be that just at the moment masculinity has brought us to the brink of nuclear destruction or ecological suicide, women are beginning to rise in response to the Mother’s call to save her planet and create instead the next stage of evolution? Can our revolution mean anything else than the reversion of social and economic control to Her representatives among Womankind, and the resumption of Her worship on the face of the Earth? Do we dare demand less?”
—Jane Alpert (b. 1947)
“The reins of government have been so long slackened, that I fear the people will not quietly submit to those restraints which are necessary for the peace and security of the community.”
