Speaker of the House Mike Johnson wants to tackle “entitlement reform” next — and that means they’re coming after your earned Social Security and Medicare benefits.
Dear John,
Despite the overwhelming and vocal opposition of the majority of Americans, President Trump has signed into law the Trump-GOP Megabill — slashing $1 trillion from Medicaid, cutting $180 billion from SNAP food nutrition programs, threatening access to care for millions of older Americans and pushing our most vulnerable citizens closer to the brink …
These callous and cruel cuts to critical health coverage, long-term care and nutrition programs will help pay for massive tax cuts that mainly benefit the ultra-rich and huge corporations. That’s why this bill has rightly been called ‘the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in U.S. history.’
And now, House Speaker Mike Johnson says he’s ready to take up so-called “entitlement reform” — which means Social Security and Medicare are next.
We cannot let this stand. That’s why we’re launching an emergency petition to Congress right now:
“Keep your hands off seniors’ earned benefits NOW.”
For millions of older Americans, Social Security and Medicare aren’t optional — they are the only way to stay afloat. With rising prices, higher out-of-pocket costs and now devastating cuts to Medicaid, any further reductions could push millions into poverty, illness or homelessness.
These aren’t “entitlements.” These are yourearned benefits — funded by decades of hard work and payroll contributions.
But Speaker Johnson is on record: “We have to get to entitlement reform.”
Translation: They’re coming for Social Security and Medicare next.
We must make a preemptive strike now — before reckless proposals are fast-tracked in Washington.
The National Committee is already gearing up for this next battle — working to expose the truth in national media, briefing key lawmakers and their staff and activating members in every congressional district.
They may have passed their budget. But we will not let them dismantle the most successful government programs in American history without a fight.
Thank you for standing with us — and with America’s seniors.
Sincerely,
Max Richtman
President & CEO
P.S. Social Security and Medicare are lifelines for millions. After slashing Medicaid, GOP leaders are already targeting them next. Please sign the petition and help us stop any attempt to fast-track benefit cuts.
