Dear John,
Tomorrow marks eight weeks out from an election that could usher in dramatic changes to Social Security and Medicare. That’s because your earned benefits have become a political football. Every time there’s talk about reining in budget deficits, your benefits are used as a bargaining chip in Congress.
“Let’s reduce the annual Social Security Cost-of-Living Adjustment,” they say. “Let’s hike the Social Security retirement age.” “Let’s raise seniors’ out-of-pocket health care costs.” “Why don’t we end traditional Medicare altogether.”
That’s why we need your help to educate and inform lawmakers and the candidates running for election about the urgent need to protect and strengthen Social Security and Medicare. To support the National Committee’s fight to protect the benefits of retirees and working Americans, please make a donation of $10 or $5 today.
The National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare, one of the nation’s leading advocacy groups on the issue, has been fighting to protect the benefits of millions of older Americans for nearly 40 years. But never has the fight been as contentious or as critical as it is now.
So please chip in a gift in whatever amount you can afford today to help us ensure our government keeps its promise to retirees and working Americans!
Sincerely,
|
