John,
California’s absurd recall election next month could put a fan of Social Security privatization into the Governor’s mansion.
Seniors are in danger if the Republican recall succeeds, with the remaining choices on the ballot being a mix of gadflys and anti-science, pro-Trump Republicans like the frontrunner, Larry Elder. That’s why it’s critical that we get the word out to vote NO on the recall in California!
We just discovered a video of Larry Elder pushing Social Security privatization just two years ago!1
Chip in $7 to our Seniors Against the Recall campaign today and make sure that Social Security privatization stays politically toxic!
As you may recall, George W. Bush tried to privatize our Social Security system in 2005―a move that would have been as disastrous as his launching of the Forever Wars, his response to Hurricane Katrina, and his 8 years of climate denial. Fortunately, Americans banded together to defeat that plan and most Republicans don’t even hint at trying to do it anymore.
But Larry Elder was trying to bring this dangerous idea back just 2 years ago!
If George W. Bush had succeeded in gambling Social Security on the stock market, the 2008 financial crisis that occurred on his watch would have been even more devastating than it already was! But the leading Republican candidate in California’s recall election thinks that’s too bad.
Together, we’re waking up older voters in California to make sure they know what the stakes are over the next month!
Thanks,
Michael Phelan Social Security Works
