Hi,

In February, Senator Rick Scott — the head of the National Republican
Senatorial Committee — announced the Republican plan to phase out Social
Security within five years.^1

Now, more and more of his Senate Republicans are jumping on board.

Senator Ron Johnson just said he would strip guaranteed funding for Social
Security and make it “discretionary” every year.^2 Senator Ron Paul said
he would privatize it and put Wall Street in charge.^3

For decades, Republicans have been quietly scheming to gut Social
Security, but now they’re openly admitting they want it on the chopping
block. That’s why it’s time to pass legislation to strengthen and ensure
its success for future generations.

Social Security is one of the most successful government programs in
history. It just celebrated its 87th birthday, and without it, millions of
American seniors would fall into abject poverty.

That’s why most observers expected that Republicans would back off their
plans to destroy Social Security. Instead, they just keep doubling down.

The Social Security 2100 Act would expand benefits and permanently shore
up funding by lifting the cap on how much millionaires and billionaires
pay into the fund. Demand Progress has been gathering petitions generating
pressure on Congress to pass this critical bill before it’s too late.

Republican plans to kill Social Security?

With gratitude for all you do,
