Dear Supporter,

As you know, so-called fiscal hawks in Congress and the Trump Administration succeeded in making historic cuts to Medicaid over the summer. This fall they’re setting their sights on seniors’ most cherished programs: Social Security and Medicare.

As members of Congress return to Washington, DC, from summer recess, the threats are mounting — from expanding Medicare privatization and further weakening customer service at the Social Security Administration (SSA), to backdoor schemes that could open the way to Social Security privatization.

GIVE NOW TO PROTECT YOUR BENEFITS ( [link removed] )

And fueling some of these attacks are distorted claims of “waste, fraud and abuse” built on misinformation and outright lies from the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), formerly led by billionaire Elon Musk.

Yet, DOGE’s “findings” have repeatedly fallen apart under scrutiny:

DOGE and Musk claimed that 40% of calls to SSA requesting changes were fraudulent. Internal SSA data shows only two likely fraud cases out of 110,000 calls.

They flagged payments to centenarians and deceased individuals as fraud — when in fact these were routine data entry quirks, not real abuse.

They boasted of savings in the hundreds of billions of dollars — independent experts revealed DOGE’s actions may actually have cost taxpayers billions while undermining vital services.

And according to a whistleblower, DOGE team members put critical Social Security data at risk of being hacked or leaked when they uploaded it to a vulnerable cloud server.

That’s why we must be prepared to fight on several fronts — because the attacks on seniors’ earned benefits are just beginning. Will you chip in a gift today to help the National Committee protect Social Security and Medicare? ( [link removed] )

Your gift will fuel our work to:

Push back against efforts to expand Medicare privatization and weaken traditional Medicare

Demand adequate funding for the Social Security Administration and expose lies aimed at weakening public support for Social Security

Rally grassroots support for our fight to stop any backdoor attempt to privatize Social Security for the benefit of Wall Street

Seniors earned their Social Security and Medicare benefits. They’re not “waste.” They’re not “fraud.”  They’re a promise that must never be broken.

Sincerely,
