Congress must act now Hello John, I know this is a busy time of year for you and your family, but we must prepare now for the battles that lie ahead. Social Security and Medicare will be under renewed attack in the new Congress as lawmakers try to figure out a way to pay down soaring budget deficits. So if you haven’t yet signed our urgent Petition to Congress, please take a moment to do it now. And if you have already signed it: Thank you. Please also consider making a donation in whatever amount you can afford to help boost our crucial work on your behalf in the early weeks of the new Congress as we fight to protect and strengthen Social Security and Medicare.   Thank you and happy holidays, Julie Lynch Member Services Manager   Begin forwarded message:
