Hi,

For years, Republicans have sought to weaken Social Security by cutting
benefits, reducing the number of people who are eligible, and putting your
money into the hands of greedy Wall Street investors.

But then Senator Rick Scott, a member of the Senate Republican leadership,
went even further by proposing an agenda that would end Social Security
and Medicare entirely within five years.

The backlash was fierce, as Demand Progress and our allies mobilized
thousands of people to contact Congress.

We have momentum on our side and an opportunity to kill off this awful
idea for good—and perhaps even pass legislation to increase benefits and
ensure that Social Security will remain strong for future generations.

A whopping 95% of Americans support Social Security.^1 No other government
program gets that level of public support.

That’s why Republicans usually try to hide their plans for weakening
Social Security. But now Republicans are feeling so bold, they came right
out and admitted the quiet part out loud, proposing an agenda that would
end Social Security.

That gives us an incredibly rare chance to pass the Social Security 2100
bill through a tightly divided Congress. Sponsored by Rep. John Larson,
this bill would strengthen benefits and guarantee the program’s solvency
for generations to come.

But we have to act fast, while Republicans are on the defensive. They’re
scrambling, trying to deny that they ever proposed ending Social Security.
That makes this the perfect time to call the vote on Social Security 2100
and force Republicans to back up their talk with action.
