Dear Friend,

When so many seniors are struggling to make ends meet, it’s wrong to propose cutting earned Social Security and Medicare benefits.

Hiding behind closed doors to get it done faster is outrageous and undemocratic.

Please sign our petition and tell Congress to protect and expand our earned benefits, not create a secret plan to cut them.

But a secret, backroom process is exactly what Senator Mitt Romney of Utah is trying to make happen. He has introduced a dangerous bill, S. 2733, misleadingly called the TRUST ACT. That legislation would create a panel that would meet outside of public view and create “fast-track” plans to make changes to Social Security and Medicare.

We need to stop this idea before it goes any further.

Social Security and Medicare benefits are critical to all Americans. We paid for them our entire life. And we need to fight anyone whose goal is to cut them or put Wall Street in charge of the system.

Please take a minute and sign the petition. We must send a clear message to Congress now - and tell them you will not stand for any secret deal to fast track cuts to Social Security and Medicare.

Thank you for taking action to defend our earned benefits. It is critical that Congress hear from you today.

Sincerely,

Rich Fiesta

Executive Director
