Dear Friend,
We wanted to make sure you saw the important message Rich sent last week.
Senator Mitt Romney is pushing legislation to create a secret commission to develop a plan to cut Social Security and Medicare.
63 million Americans rely on Social Security and Medicare, and they’ve earned their benefits through a lifetime of hard work. We need to let Congress know that sneak attacks on these benefits are unacceptable.
Thanks for your support!

Subject: Stop the Fast Track to Social Security and Medicare Cuts!
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.
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
