We're doubling down [link removed] GIVE TODAY — Double Your
Impact to Protect Benefits! [link removed] DearJohn, Right now, opponents of Social Security are preparing to use the economic crisis brought on by the coronavirus pandemic as justification to resurrect dangerous proposals that target earned benefits with deep cuts and radical changes.
For instance, slashing the annual Social Security Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA), raising the Social Security eligibility age, cutting payroll taxes, which would reduce revenue going into Social Security and harm the future solvency of this vital program ... <em>and these mounting threats come at a time when millions of older Americans are facing ongoing health- and financially-related hardships stemming from the coronavirus crisis.</em>
If we don't act immediately to shore up our resources, the National Committee could be forced to scale back our essential campaigns at a time when they are needed the most. In fact, it's because of these rising threats that a loyal National Committee supporter has stepped forward to offer us a generous MATCHING GIFT CHALLENGE [link removed] to help ensure we are fully prepared to counter these unprecedented attacks coming from so-called "fiscal hawks" in Congress and the Trump Administration.

So any gift you make today will be matched, dollar-for-dollar — up to $37,000 — to help us mobilize our million+ members and supporters to hold our elected officials accountable for any proposal that breaks our government's promise to workers and retirees! With so much at stake in the weeks ahead, <a href="[link removed]" name="matching_gift" style="text-decoration: underline; color: #004D96; text-align: left;" target="_blank" title="Click Here to DOUBLE Your Gift" ><strong style="font-weight: bold;"><u style="text-decoration: underline; color: #004D96; text-align: left;">will you help us take advantage of this incredible opportunity to bolster our fight to protect earned benefits by making a gift of $10 or $5?</u></strong></a>
As the coronavirus pandemic continues to impact our economy, we anticipate a firestorm of new and outrageous proposals emerging in Congress that target your earned benefits in order to pay for other fiscal priorities. <a alt="Click Here to DOUBLE Your Gift" href="[link removed]" id="action_donate" name="donate_now_sc" style="text-decoration: underline; color: #004D96; text-align: left;" title="Click Here to DOUBLE Your Gift" ><strong style="font-weight: bold;">So please, if you are able, chip in one urgent gift to support your National Committee</strong></a> — and your donation will be matched for double the impact to help us boost our protection of Americans' retirement and health security. Sincerely, Max Richtman
