GIVE NOW to Help Defeat Threats
to Earned Benefits

Dear John,
|
We can't ignore the troubling signs. The Trump Administration and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell appear dead-set on targeting Social Security and Medicare with deep cuts in order to reduce soaring budget deficits caused largely by the federal response to the coronavirus pandemic and reckless (and costly!) tax cuts that mainly benefit the wealthiest Americans.
|
With the national debt now topping a staggering $25 trillion, they are coming after your Social Security and Medicare benefits — because that's where the money is. Recently, President Trump responded to a Fox News host's suggestion that, if "you don't cut something in entitlements, you will never really deal with the debt," by saying, "Oh, we'll be cutting." And so we need to be ready ...
Please help us ramp up our fight to protect earned benefits by making one urgent gift of $10 or $5 today! Thanks to a MATCHING GIFT CHALLENGE that expires at the end of the month, your donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar, for double the impact, and go toward strengthening our full-scale battle to protect and strengthen Social Security and Medicare.
So a gift of $15 becomes $30, a gift of $50 becomes $100 and so on, thanks to the generosity of a loyal National Committee member who has stepped forward to offer this MATCHING GIFT CHALLENGE, to help ensure we are fully prepared to defend earned benefits from those in Washington who are determined to defund and destroy Social Security and Medicare.
As you know, the National Committee relies solely on supporters like you to give us the resources we need to wage a winning fight to preserve Social Security and Medicare. And for 37 years we have been involved in every major legislative battle to protect and strengthen earned benefits, from restoring much-needed funding for the beleaguered Social Security Administration to protecting Social Security's Cost-of-Living Adjustments (COLAs) to fighting unfair benefit cuts to defeating proposals to privatize Social Security and Medicare. And just last month, the National Committee fought hard to ensure beneficiaries automatically received their Coronavirus, Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act cash payment.
At a time when millions of older Americans are counting on their earned benefits just to make ends meet, to stay healthy and survive this crisis, we must be prepared to fight back against attacks from the Trump Administration and Senate Majority Leader McConnell! So please help us maximize this incredible MATCHING GIFT CHALLENGE by making a generous donation today. Your gift to support the National Committee will be matched, dollar-for-dollar — all the way up to $37,000 — and will help protect the benefits that are worth thousands of dollars to you.
Thank you in advance for standing with the National Committee as we fight to protect the well-being and financial security of millions of older Americans during this difficult time!
