John,
175 House Republicans just endorsed a budget that does exactly what they pledged never to do:
We’re fighting back against this betrayal of trust that attacks our earned benefits, as well as other critical services for working families.
Polling shows that 76% of voters want Congress to expand Social Security’s modest benefits by making the wealthy pay their fair share in taxes.[1]
Hold House Republicans accountable. Donate today to fight back against the right-wing Republican Study Committee budget that cuts Social Security, privatizes Medicare, and raises drug prices, all without asking the wealthy to pay a penny more in taxes.

House Republicans have already proposed billions of dollars in tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. Now to help pay for it, they’re coming after our earned benefits.
Together, we’re fighting for an economy and a tax system that invests in working people, seniors, and vulnerable communities, not one that hands even more to the wealthy and corporations.
In solidarity,

-- David's email --
John,
Republicans claimed throughout the debt-ceiling debate that they had no intention of cutting Social Security and Medicare, even as they attacked other critical services for working families.
Now, 175 representatives who are members of the right-wing Republican Study Committee, have introduced their own budget that does exactly that:
-
Cutting Social Security by raising the retirement age
-
Privatizing Medicare, replacing guaranteed coverage with a coupon
-
Raising drug prices by eliminating Medicare’s ability to negotiate with pharmaceutical corporations, and
-
Slashing funding for other critical programs
All without raising a single penny of additional taxes from the rich and corporations!
This right-wing budget reflects the views of more than three-quarters of House Republicans and breaks the agreement made during the debt crisis between Kevin McCarthy and President Biden that was meant to protect Social Security, Medicare, and many other critical programs and services.
Instead of cutting Social Security and Medicare, the American people want to expand these critical programs by making the wealthy pay their fair share in taxes.
Donate today to fight back against the Republican Study Committee budget, which reflects the views of more than three-quarters of House Republicans.

Together, we’re holding Congress accountable to the American people, defending our earned benefits for current and future generations—and demanding fairer taxes from the rich and corporations.
With you in this fight,
