Hey, friend: Gary is really fired up about the feedback we got from our last survey, and I thought it was important to loop you in.
I'm actually reaching out because Gary is hoping to get another 18 folks to sign his petition opposing GOP cuts to vital programs like Social Security and Medicare - and looks like we haven't gotten your signature yet. Will you add your name now? Here's the best link:

Claire - thanks for sharing. This is exactly why we can't let up on our fight to stop these GOP cuts. Do you think we could get even more responses to keep the pressure up? Let me know.

Hi Gary, you're going to want to check out these responses to your petition re: opposing GOP cuts to Social Security and Medicare (see file attached). It's an issue that's clearly at the top of people's minds. What do you think?

Subject: Trump just promised to cut vital programs:
To:

Friend: Recently, we got a hold of President Trump's 2020 budget proposal, and it's worse than we thought. This budget would cut billions - yes, billions - of dollars from Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. And just last night, Trump doubled down on these proposed cuts during a Fox News town hall, again threatening to cut these vital programs.
Donald Trump was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and he may think it's easy to rob billions of dollars in vital services from the elderly and vulnerable - but you know what's not so easy? Trying to make a limited income last through medical expenses, heating costs and groceries. Or worrying about how you'll put food on the table for your child and pay for their hospital bills.
These are experiences that Donald Trump has never had to face, but it's reality for many Michiganders and Americans. So let me say this as plainly as possible: I will fight any and every attempt to take away Social Security and Medicare.
But in the face of these proposed cuts from President Trump - and similar moves from Mitch McConnell and Republican senators - I need you to join me in protecting these crucial services. Will you add your name to my petition now to oppose GOP cuts to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid?

Threatening to cut these programs is cruel and unacceptable. That's why I've set a goal to secure 5,000 signatures to this petition. Can I count on you to stand shoulder to shoulder with millions of Americans who rely on these vital programs? Sign the petition to oppose GOP cuts to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.

Thank you,
Gary
