Hello John,
I hope you saw Max’s email from earlier in the week! Right now, we’re working around the clock to garner co-sponsors for U.S. Representative John Larson’s (CT-01) Social Security bill that will make important and long-overdue improvements to this vital program. Help us put pressure on your member of Congress to support the “Social Security 2100: A Sacred Trust Act” by signing our Urgent Petition TODAY! If you have already signed it: Thank you.
Please also consider making a donation in whatever amount you can afford to help boost our crucial work to protect and strengthen — not cut — Social Security benefits!

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,
|
