So please help us reach our critical fundraising goal of $36,000 by the end of the day on Senior Citizens' Day: August 21^st, by making a Matching Gift of $10 or $5 today — and help us defeat any threat to earned benefits that emerges out of Congress in the weeks ahead! Again: your gift will be matched, thanks to a loyal member who has stepped forward to offer this incredible Match Offer, so please be as generous as you can.

The support of working Americans and retirees like you is a big reason why we have won so many victories over the years, including stopping efforts to slash Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid as part of congressional budget proposal ... defeating a dangerous proposal to end traditional Medicare by privatizing this program for the benefit of huge insurance companies ... and pressuring Congress to pass a spending bill that restores funding to the Social Security Administration, at a time when this agency has suffered severe cutbacks in customer service. None of this would have been possible without your support, John.
