Dear John,

Your earned benefits hang in the balance during this critical election year. That’s because many long-serving lawmakers are retiring and may be replaced with radical politicians who don’t understand what a traditional program like Social Security means to millions of older Americans like you.

And these extremist politicians are willing to gut seniors’ programs to reduce the national debt and pay for massive tax breaks for the wealthy and huge corporations. And if we are not careful and vigilant, I’m deeply concerned that opponents of Social Security could try to privatize Social Security — by turning over at least part of it to benefit private, profit-motivated corporations.

Please help us send a direct and powerful message to your member of Congress that “Seniors Reject Harmful Social Security Cuts and Dangerous Privatization Schemes” by signing our EMERGENCY PETITION today.

This election season, the specter of privatization was raised during the race to clinch the GOP presidential nomination. Several Republican candidates embraced the idea of putting Social Security on the Wall Street roller coaster as the best way to “save” this program.

The presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump has even said in the past that “privatization would be good for all of us” while calling Social Security a “Ponzi scheme.”

Bottom line, too many lawmakers and political candidates think Social Security is a big, easy target for spending cuts. Yet any cut to Social Security would be devastating for millions of older Americans, including the 40% of beneficiaries for whom Social Security benefits are their sole source of income in retirement!

With so much at stake, please sign our EMERGENCY PETITION today and put your member of Congress on notice that seniors reject any effort to cut or privatize Social Security to pay for other “fiscal priorities.”

Sincerely,

Max Richtman

President & CEO
