Dear John,
This historic Social Security bill is one step closer to passage! Today the full House Ways and Means Committee heard testimony on the "Social Security 2100 Act," introduced by Representative John Larson (CT-01). And opponents of this landmark bill that would boost and strengthen Social Security for current and future beneficiaries are gearing up their attacks! That's because there is a powerful contingent in Congress who would rather protect massive unpaid-for tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires than strengthen the protections under Social Security for workers and retirees.
Yet, Representative Larson's "Social Security 2100 Act" (H.R. 860) is exactly what current and future seniors need. It will put the program on a financially healthy track, cut taxes for many beneficiaries and provide a modest, but much needed boost in benefits. This bill also undercuts deceptive and misleading propaganda that Social Security is somehow "going bankrupt" — and safeguards the system's long-term future without cutting benefits, raising the retirement age or imposing more miserly Cost-of-Living Adjustments (COLAs).
For years, our members and supporters like you have told us that they want and need their Social Security benefits boosted! By passing this bill, the House can give retirees, people with disabilities and their dependents a much-needed pay raise at a time of rapidly escalating living expenses — and reassure Americans that Social Security will be there for them in the future, stronger than ever. Please chip in one urgent donation of any amount you can afford right now to help bolster our efforts to get the "Social Security 2100 Act" on the House floor for a vote this fall. Your grassroots support could make or break this bill — so please take action today!
Sincerely, |
