Dear John,

Jim Roosevelt, the grandson of Franklin D. Roosevelt, knows better than anyone how important Social Security is to Americans like you. It’s one of the most enduring legacies of his grandfather’s presidency. But this election, it’s also on the line like never before.

In fact, it was just reported that our federal debt has topped $40 trillion for the first time ever, in part due to lost revenue from the Trump Administration’s invalidated tariffs. This puts massive pressure on lawmakers to rein in spending, and Social Security is an easy target for these cuts.

That’s why Jim Roosevelt asked if he could get involved in the National Committee’s urgent fight to protect this lifesaving program from hardliners in Congress who are dead set on slashing your earned benefits. 

And in recent letter Jim sent to National Committee supporters, he urged them to sign onto the National Committee’s petition ([link removed]) telling members of Congress to keep their hands off Social Security:

James Roosevelt, Jr., grandson of President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

“Social Security has been an easy target of so-called ‘deficit hawks’ in Washington who would much rather chip away at seniors’ earned benefits than reverse decades of unfair (and unpaid for!) tax policies that mostly benefit wealthy Americans and huge corporations.

Fortunately, my grandfather helped structure the program to make it hard to cut or privatize Social Security. Because Social Security has its own dedicated income stream from the payroll tax, we don’t just trade it off against education or defense or other priorities. My grandfather famously said, ‘With those taxes in there, no damn politician can ever scrap my Social Security program’.”

If you agree FDR’s legacy — which continues to empower millions of older Americans — is worth fighting for, then please add your name to our EMERGENCY PETITION TO CONGRESS: “Protect — Don’t Cut — Social Security!” ([link removed])

National Committee President & CEO Max Richtman and Jim Roosevelt plan to show lawmakers in Congress and the candidates running for political office in November that seniors across the country depend on their earned benefits and oppose any cuts to these programs.

Jim Roosevelt understands that lawmakers can’t just change or cut Social Security without risking the livelihoods of millions of retirees and working Americans.

So please, sign our EMERGENCY PETITION today to let your elected officials in Washington, DC know that you rely on Social Security, you want retirees’ benefits protected and you will vote for candidates on November 3rd who uphold your values! ([link removed])

Sincerely,

Max Richtman
President & CEO
SIGN NOW! ([link removed])
