Dear Friend,
I wanted to make sure you saw the important message I sent you last week. If we don’t do something, Americans’ earned Social Security retirement benefits will end by 2023.
President Trump has repeatedly said that he won’t cut Social Security, but that’s a lie. He’s already promised to cut it seven different times. Seven times.
Now he’s cooked up a scheme to unilaterally slash Social Security’s funding and end it unless Congress steps in.
Sincerely,

Subject: Social Security Official: Trump Plan Will End Benefits in 2023
Dear Friend,
Yes, you read that right. Everyone’s Social Security retirement benefits will end in 2023 if President Trump is re-elected. This is real -- Social Security’s own actuary confirmed it this week.
That would be devastating for Americans who have earned their Social Security over a lifetime of work.
The Trump plan is devious. Unless Congress steps in he could make this change unilaterally by simply not collecting the payroll tax any longer.
President Trump likes to say he won’t cut Social Security. He is lying. He has said he would cut or end Social Security’s funding at least 7 times since he was elected president.
Congress must take away his power to end Social Security unilaterally -- before it’s too late.
Thanks for all you do.
Sincerely,
Richard Fiesta
