John,

Over the weekend, we warned that the House Budget Committee was taking the next step with its so-called “fiscal commission”―a closed-door, fast-track group that could meet secretly and force through a plan to cut Social Security and Medicare. We knew they were holding a work session called a “markup” on Thursday. But US News just reported¹ that they could take TWO steps forward by voting to advance the commission as well!

ocial Security Works is mobilizing to make sure every member of Congress on that committee knows that a vote for this commission is a vote to destroy Social Security and Medicare. Rush a donation today―we’re going all out between now and Thursday.

― MICHAEL’S EMAIL ―

John,

I’m going to make this quick:

In four days, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives is holding a hearing to advance their legislation to create a closed-door “fiscal commission” to negotiate cuts to Social Security and Medicare in secret. The White House has rightly called such a commission a “death panel for Medicare & Social Security.”

Republicans want to make the creation of this closed-door commission the price of keeping the government open past this week. We’re going to stop them.

Rush a donation to Social Security Works to keep our lobbying efforts going. We can’t waste a day.
