Dear John,

Today, millions of older Americans are struggling to afford rising housing, food and out-of-pocket health care costs. But the economic burden on older Americans could get even worse if Congress fails to pass legislation to rein in high drug prices — and if the next Congress garners enough votes to privatize traditional Medicare, cut the Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA), raise the retirement age or privatize Social Security. Will you chip in a gift today to help support our fight to protect your earned benefits from being reduced?

As the most powerful so-called “entitlement reformer” in Congress, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is banking on having majority control of the U.S. Senate next year so he can lead the charge for benefit cuts and radical “reforms” to your retirement security.

Since the last election, he and his allies in Congress have been more concerned about pandering to the demands of huge insurance companies, Big Pharma and Wall Street CEOs — and preserving massive tax breaks for their wealthy friends — than passing legislation that would help workers and retirees make ends meet at a time of record high inflation.

As someone who is counting on their benefits for a secure retirement, you understand more than most why we must keep pressure on Congress to protect what is owed to America’s retirees and workers. So please chip in a gift in whatever amount you can afford today to support our fight to protect your earned benefits!

Sincerely,

Max Richtman
President & CEO
