John,
Nearly 1,500 people died of COVID-19 yesterday. More than 40 million Americans have lost their jobs. Protests in favor of racial justice were held in every state in the union, the day after the US Attorney General ordered the tear-gassing of peaceful protesters.
In the midst of these unprecedented crises, 60 members of Congress released a letter―not about fighting the pandemic or demilitarizing the police forces that are terrorizing American cities, but about the need to set up secret commissions to cut Social Security and Medicare.
This obsession with sacrificing our earned benefits for Wall Street donations―at a time when Americans are in crisis―is both stupid and dangerous.
We need much more government spending right now to support U.S. families through this difficult time, not less. The last thing we need to do is cut Social Security and Medicare, which are more essential than ever in the midst of a pandemic.
We’re fighting back and helping the voices of the people be heard! Chip in $7 to protect seniors from Wall Street’s favorite members of Congress!

Thanks,

John,
More than 105,000 people have died from a deadly pandemic―including more than 40,000 in nursing homes.
40 million people have lost their jobs.
Around the country, the police are violently oppressing peaceful protesters―including outside the White House, so that the President could get a picture taken for his campaign ads.
With these simultaneous crises gripping the nation, 60 members of Congress―including both Republicans and some of Wall Street's favorite Democrats―released a letter letter in support of creating closed-door commissions to cut Social Security and Medicare.
This deficit demagoguery is a smokescreen to achieve the long-held right-wing goal of destroying our Social Security and Medicare systems. The only crisis is that the rich won’t pay their fair share. We’re fighting back. Chip in $7 today!
This letter pushes the TRUST Act, a Mitt Romney brainchild that would create closed-door, fast-track commissions to circumvent public opinion and force cuts to our earned benefits. The Democrats who support this odious legislation are being used―and we’re letting them know it.
The last thing we need is more autocrats in DC trampling the will of the people―who overwhelmingly want these programs expanded.
Congress should be using their power to act on behalf of the people, not shield themselves from repercussions when they act in defiance of public sentiment.
There are emergencies that demand Congressional action now, from fasicsm in the White House to the still-raging pandemic.
Social Security Works is contacting every one of these Representatives and urging them to address the real problems in this country―not create new ones by destroying Social Security and Medicare. Chip in to fight back!
Thanks,
Alex Lawson
