John,

Deficit commission co-chairs Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy were on Capitol Hill yesterday meeting with Congressional allies, and one thing is clear: Republicans are desperate for even one Democratic fingerprint on the knife they use to gut Social Security.

Unfortunately, some Democrats are taking the bait―including Reps. Jared Moskowitz and Greg Landsman.

We need to send a swift and clear message: Democrats must not muddy the waters when it comes to Republican commissions to slash Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid! Rush a donation to fund billboard trucks that let Moskowitz and Landsman’s constituents know what they’re up to!

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your secure donation will go through immediately:

Alex’s email below lays out the state of play, along with our strategy, and an image of the billboard we’ll be running in Moskowitz’s district.

Thanks,

-- ALEX'S EMAIL --

John,

FIRST: Donald Trump put Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, in charge of slashing one-third of the federal budget, and started looking for ways to do so without Congress.¹

THEN: Both Vice President-elect JD Vance² and Musk himself³ indicated that Social Security cuts were on the table.

NOW: Democratic Representatives Jared Moskowitz⁵ and Greg Landsman⁶ are signing up to participate in Musk’s commission to slash Social Security.

WHAT?!?

Social Security Works is loyal to our Social Security system―not any political party. When any politician plays footsie with fascists to destroy the system that generations of Americans built, we will fight back.

Send a message: NO Democrat should participate in Musk’s commission to slash Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid! Help run billboard trucks outside seniors centers in Moskowitz and Landsman’s districts!

Here’s what we’re putting on a billboard in Moskowitz’s district:

We’re booking the trucks now, but we will cancel them if these Democrats either secure a pledge that the commission won’t touch Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid, or if they rescind their participation.

If Moskowitz and Landsman participate without such a pledge, we will hold them accountable.

Send a message to Democrats: Boycott Elon Musk’s Social Security-slashing commission!

Thank you,

Alex Lawson
