Dear Jack,

[ [link removed] ]Don't let Mitt Romney
destroy Social Security

Millionaire Mitt Romney ran for president in 2012 calling for cuts to
Social Security. He picked Paul Ryan, the nation's loudest advocate for
slashing and burning Social Security and Medicare, as his running mate.
Now, Millionaire Mitt is in the Senate, and he has a new plan to cut
Social Security.^1

Romney's legislation would create a special committee of senators who
would meet behind closed doors where they can agree to cut earned benefits
without interference from the people who rely on those benefits to survive
and retire with dignity. We can't let that happen.^2

Romney likes to pose as a member of the Republican resistance to Trump,
but he doesn't lift a finger to rein in Trump's abuses or protect
terrorized communities. He is fully on board with Trump's agenda of Wall
Street profit and Main Street pain. Romney – who leveraged his dad's
famous name into a career in predatory private equity and a multi-million
dollar fortune – supports Trump's tax handouts for the rich, his
ignore-the-rules free pass for Wall Street speculators and his loathing
for Social Security.

Mitt Romney and Donald Trump know that cutting earned benefits is
incredibly unpopular, which is why they resort to sneak attacks. Trump did
it by sabotaging the Social Security Administration itself – leading to
office closures, massive loss of staff and long waits for disability
benefits.^3 Romney introduced legislation to quiet the voices of actual
working people and give elite senators like himself the power to come
together in a special, private committee to come up with a plan to cut
Social Security.^4

Millionaire Mitt and Daddy's Money Donald may not need Social Security to
retire with dignity, but millions of Americans do – especially after
Romney and Trump's Wall Street pals destroyed all their savings in the
financial crash. If members of Congress want to help Social Security
instead of cutting it, the answer is simple. They need to reject Romney's
nonsense plan and get behind the Social Security 2100 Act, which would
increase Social Security benefits and keep the system solvent into the
next century by making the super-rich finally pay their fair share.^5
