Dear John,
As I wrote to you about recently, the latest Social Security Trustees report shows that the Social Security Trust Fund will become depleted in 2035 — one year later than projected last year. That is if Congress doesn’t take preventative action.
When the Trust Fund becomes insolvent, the Trustees say, Social Security will only be able to pay 80% of scheduled benefits. That would mean a massive benefit cut for everyone who collects Social Security.
To help the National Committee prevent this looming reduction to your earned benefits, please sign our Emergency Petition to Congress today addressed to your member of Congress, urging them to pass the “Social Security 2100: A Sacred Trust Act,” a bill which would extend trust fund solvency and give beneficiaries an across the board benefit increase, improve survivor benefits, improve the Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) and require the wealthy to pay their fair share into Social Security.
The clock is running down ... The time for fair, just and equitable action that safeguards Social Security’s financial stability is now!
That’s why I urge you to please sign our Emergency Petition to Congress today and tell your U.S. Representative to support the “Social Security 2100: A Sacred Trust Act” — a commonsense bill that boosts Social Security’s financings and benefits.
Sincerely,
|
