Townsend's old age pension group in Santa Cruz urged a $150 monthly pension for people over 60, up from $60. More than 1,200 Townsend Club members adopted a resolution calling for the Townsend Plan to replace Social Security, and vowed to expel any Communists on club rolls. The measure claimed the $150 pension would boost American purchasing power by two billion dollars monthly.
