On this day in 1935, Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act into law, building the foundation for our country's social safety net.
But national Republicans have made no secret of their plans to put Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid on the chopping block.
Hundreds of millions of Americans have relied on these programs for decades — and we can't let national Republicans get away with raising the retirement age, ripping away seniors' hard-earned benefits, and chipping away at these vital programs.
National Republicans act like they have no choice but to rip away benefits from seniors and people with disabilities… yet their budget plans manage to preserve tax breaks for billionaires? It doesn't add up.
Let's get real: the only reason to support cutting, instead of strengthening, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid benefits is to protect the wealthy from paying their fair share. Far too many working Americans will suffer the consequences if national Republicans get their way.
And we won't stand for it. We need as many folks as possible to add their name in defense of Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Will you take action and sign our petition today?
Thanks for adding your name,
Team Casey
