Dear John,
|
Don't be fooled — threats to earned benefits haven't gone away. That's why this summer, we need to take a firm stand for Social Security and Medicare — benefits that over a lifetime are worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to you and your family. Specifically, I need you to remind congressional lawmakers that slashing earned benefits for the sake of deficit reduction and paying for huge tax breaks for the very wealthy is not a plan voters support.
|
That's why I urge you to sign our SUMMER CHALLENGE Petition to Congress today, urging lawmakers to protect and strengthen Social Security and Medicare, and the vital services these programs provide to millions of Americans and their families. When your member of Congress returns from summer recess, we want to ensure they see that a majority of their constituents have signed onto this petition. The more petitions in their inbox, the more seriously they will take this issue!
|
We need to be certain that Congress hears people like you, who have paid into and are counting on their earned benefits in retirement — and not those who falsely claim Social Security and Medicare are the reason for today's historic federal budget deficits! Right now, the National Committee is just days away from launching our massive, nationwide SUMMER CHALLENGE to raise unprecedented awareness about the rights and needs of workers and retirees — and your signed and submitted petition is a key part of our campaign. Please take action now to defend and boost your crucial earned benefits!
|
While we will be devoting critical resources to advancing our priority agenda for Social Security and Medicare that would improve benefits for millions of workers and retirees and strengthen the solvency of these programs for future generations, we cannot ignore ongoing efforts by powerful fiscal hawks in Congress and the Trump Administration to chip away at your earned benefits. So please sign our SUMMER CHALLENGE Petition to Congress right now — and officially go on the record with your federal representative about where you stand on earned benefits. We're aiming for at least 50,000 signatures to make lawmakers sit up and take notice before the policy battles begin. This summer we cannot afford to be complacent!
