John,

If Congress doesn’t pass a government funding bill by Friday, the government will shut down. Once again, right-wing legislators have placed programs that help people directly in their crosshairs. They’re threatening a commission to slash Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid behind closed doors.

And they’re happy to slash food assistance, veterans’ benefits, and prescription drug price negotiation out in the open.

Social Security’s enemies win when they can talk about these programs in terms of numbers. We win when we can put human faces behind them. Can you share how these programs affect you and help stop the government shutdown?

Your story can help us win. The truth about these programs is that they aren’t spreadsheets―they’re vital lifelines for millions of Americans.

It just takes a moment to share your story, and could make all the difference.

We’re partnering with Health Care Voices, a fantastic organization that injects humanity into government funding fights.

Share your story today and stop the Republican plan to dismantle Social Security and Medicare!

Thank you,

Alex Lawson
