John,

A “fast-track” process to fix Social Security? That’s just another way of saying “behind closed doors.”

Any discussion about the future of Social Security must be done in the light of day, where the American people can see it. That’s how we protect and expand Social Security.

Chip in $7 today to fight back and tell Mitt Romney and his billionaire donors where the American people stand: Expand, don’t cut, Social Security!

Senator Mitt Romney’s new plan, the TRUST Act, is nothing more than an extension of the Romney-Ryan plan to cut Social Security, which was overwhelmingly rejected by voters in the 2012 presidential election.

Senators Mitt Romney, Joni Ernst, and Mitch McConnell know that Social Security is way too popular with the American people to cut it out in the open. That’s why they are so determined to go behind closed doors.

It’s up to us to fight back against Romney’s (don’t) TRUST Act and instead demand Congress pass the Social Security 2100 Act, which would protect and expand benefits to meet today’s needs.

Read Michael’s email below about Mitt Romney’s plan to cut Social Security behind closed doors and then pitch in $7 today to fight back!

Thank you,

John,

Mitt Romney ran for President seven years ago on a promise to cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. He even picked Medicare’s worst enemy, Paul Ryan, to be his running mate. Fortunately, he lost.

Now, Romney is a Senator trying to burnish his “moderate” credentials by acting extremely concerned about Donald Trump’s crimes—while doing nothing to stop them. But he’s still got the same plan for Social Security: Cut benefits behind closed doors! And now he’s got a bill that would do just that.

Mitt’s using the Wall Street lie that Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell have been using for years: That the only way to “save” Social Security is to cut benefits.

We’re fighting back! Chip in $7 to REJECT Sen. Romney’s fast-track plan to cut Social Security!

At Social Security Works, we know that the real problem plaguing our economy is greed leading to runaway inequality. Expanding Social Security is a solution to that inequality―but cutting benefits would make it even worse.

Senator Romney’s new plan, the TRUST Act, would create a fast-track, closed-door process for cutting Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. This is, in legislative form, exactly what Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) called for at a town hall last month.

Politicians don’t shut the door when they’re trying to do something popular. The TRUST Act is an extension of the Romney-Ryan plan that America rejected in 2012: Cuts, cuts, cuts.

Together, we’ve built a movement that beat the Bowles-Simpson fast-track process, the Supercommittee fast-track process, and the Republican debt ceiling hostage-taking. Together, we can beat this latest attack on our earned benefits.

Chip in $7 to fight back against Mitt Romney’s plans and EXPAND, not cut, our Social Security system.

The fact of the matter is, we already have a plan to protect and expand Social Security: The Social Security 2100 Act, which not only addresses Sen. Romney’s mathematical concerns, but also ensures that Social Security’s benefits are adequate to meet the needs of today’s seniors.

Thanks for fighting with us,

Michael Phelan
