As we say goodbye to 2024, I want you to know how grateful I am for everything you helped us accomplish this year. Thanks to your support, the National Committee:
|
Stopped numerous attacks on Social Security and Medicare
Represented your views on Capitol Hill through hundreds of thousands of petitions and letters to Congress you’ve signed digitally and through the mail
Took to the airwaves and print media to raise the alarm on efforts to cut and radically “reform” seniors’ programs
Launched the “You Earned This” podcast series
Provided written testimony to Congress on the health and status of the Social Security and Medicare Trust Funds and urged full funding of the Social Security Administration, which millions of seniors rely on for valuable customer service
Helped expose myths and lies being promoted in the media and by politicians and billionaire CEOs about Social Security and Medicare.

But as I look ahead to the new year, I’m gravely concerned about the future of Americans’ retirement and health security. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson is determined to create a commission tasked with finding spending cuts to Social Security and Medicare. For years, we’ve helped stave off the creation of a congressional commission that could recommend devastating benefit cuts, but I’m concerned Speaker Johnson, backed by President-elect Trump’s “Department of Government Efficiency,” will manage to ram through this dangerous proposal in the weeks ahead.

GOP hardliners have made it clear they have no problem going after seniors’ earned benefits even as millions of older Americans continue to struggle to afford the high cost of many of the goods and services they rely on.

Your donation will help us mobilize our grassroots army of concerned citizens and our advocacy and media relations staff to go to battle against the powerful insurance companies, huge drug companies and Wall Street who want nothing more than for the little guy to work harder and longer, pay more and get less … so they can protect their fortunes.

Every donation helps us get closer to our end-of-year $50,000 goal — SO PLEASE MAKE A GIFT RIGHT NOW. We have so much hanging in the balance in 2025 — your support will help ensure we’re prepared to hit the ground running as soon as the new Congress convenes on January 3! |
On behalf of all of us here at the National Committee thank you for your continued support and generosity.
