Dear Friend,
In case you missed my email from earlier today, I’m copying it below and asking you to take a moment to read it right now.
I know many organizations are asking for your support today.
Supporting the Alliance’s work can help millions of current and future retirees - including your loved ones - who are struggling to pay for basic necessities each month.
Passing the Strengthening Social Security Act (H.R. 2654) is critical. And I hope you will agree that $800 more in Social Security benefits every year for the rest of your life is worth fighting for.
Thank you for all you do to help the Alliance fight for retirement security for all Americans.
Sincerely,
Rich Fiesta
Executive Director

Dear Friend,
If you’re like most seniors, your Social Security check doesn’t begin to go far enough.
When the average Social Security benefit is just $1,503, too many retirees are forced to choose which bills to pay now and what can be put off until next month.
It shouldn’t be that way.
That’s why I’m asking you to support our work to pass the Strengthening Social
Security Act (H.R. 2654). This historic legislation will:
Give retirees an additional $800 in Social Security income every year, with bigger checks every month.
We can’t get this done without you. That’s why I’m asking you to do your part to get this legislation passed.
The sooner we can get Congress to pass the Strengthening Social Security Act, the sooner monthly benefits will increase.
To make this happen, we are turning up the heat on Congress. We’ll be going office to office to urge your Senators and Representatives to increase Social Security benefits for every retiree.
The fact is, one dollar of today’s Social Security benefit is worth just $0.66 compared to what it was worth in 2000. At the same time, the typical expenses of people over 65 have risen by almost 100%.
This can’t go on.
We’re mobilizing all 4.4 million Alliance members for this fight. I hope I can count you among them. Together, we will get this done.
Sincerely,
Rich Fiesta
Executive Director
