John,

When the American people are watching, Republicans know they can’t show their true feelings about Social Security and Medicare. Their actions speak plenty loudly: They want to protect tax breaks for the super-rich, and use the deficits that creates to slash Social Security and Medicare.

Because of overwhelming public support for our earned benefits, the only way they can do this is behind closed doors. That’s why we’re calling on Congress to BOYCOTT Kevin McCarthy’s closed-door commission to cut Social Security and Medicare. Add your name today!

Thanks,

John,

This week, the Republican Study Committee released the preferred budget of three-fourths of Republicans in the House. That budget would slash Social Security benefits and destroy Medicare. But Republicans know that they can’t enact their shameful agenda on their own―that’s why Kevin McCarthy is plotting a closed-door commission to fast-track cuts to Social Security and Medicare.

Sign the petition: Congress must boycott Kevin McCarthy’s commission to cut Social Security and Medicare behind closed doors!

The American people demand that any changes to Social Security or Medicare happen in the sunlight.

Republicans deny their fixation on cutting Social Security and Medicare by saying that they never introduce bills to cut benefits.

But while Democrats have introduced legislation like the Social Security Expansion Act, which secures Social Security’s financing over the long term and increases benefits by making the wealthy pay their fair share, Republicans have focused on ways to bring normal legislative processes behind closed doors, so that the public won’t know who to blame.

The American people deserve a say in Social Security’s future. Kevin McCarthy doesn’t want them to have one. Sign now: Congress must BOYCOTT McCarthy’s commission to cut Social Security and Medicare!

Thank you,
