Congress must act now Hello John, As a new Congress prepares to get down to the People’s business we need to remind them of the critical nature of Social Security and Medicare for millions of older Americans — and the urgent need to strengthen these bedrock programs. So if you haven’t yet signed our urgent Petition to New 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 pass legislation that improves Americans’ retirement and health security.
