Dear John,
Instead of supporting policies to protect much less improve Social Security and Medicare, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and other so-called “fiscal hawks” in Congress remain determined to cut earned benefits to balance the budget and pay for unrelated programs.
Yet, champions of Social Security and Medicare serving in Congress are now preparing to introduce several key bills that would improve the retirement and health security of millions of older Americans by allowing Medicare to negotiate lower prescription drug prices, boosting monthly Social Security benefits by implementing a fair Social Security Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) that takes into account seniors’ actual expenses, and ensuring millionaires pay their fair share into Social Security. To ensure these vital bills make it onto the House and Senate floors for a vote, I need your help!
Every day, the National Committee is meeting virtually with Senators and Representatives, conducting interviews with members of the media and acting in your best interests through advocacy, education and grassroots efforts. But all that takes a lot of personnel, a lot of footwork, a lot of time researching — and communicating — the truth. It also takes a lot of money.
And just as you depend on your benefits, we depend on donations from the people we represent so that we can keep on fighting for you.
John, our strength lies in the participation of our more than one million members and supporters — and frankly, each and every dollar counts. Please make one urgent donation today to help us wage this critical battle to pass vital legislation in Congress that would improve Social Security and Medicare benefits.
