Dear John, 

“Republicans want to gut Social Security and Medicare to give more tax breaks to the wealthy.” 
-President Obama

Republican leadership, led by Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy, has made it clear that they plan to end Medicare and Social Security as we know them. And now that they have secured control of the House of Representatives, Democrats must stop these attacks on Medicare and Social Security, which millions of Americans rely on to survive.

Remember, you can use your 2022 Oregon Political Tax Credit to give – it's like a free $50 donation.

Time and time again Americans have declared their overwhelming support for Medicare and Social Security, yet Republicans have continued their attacks on these core pieces of the American safety net. We’ve defeated them each time, but we need your help.

The Democratic Party of Oregon has defended Social Security before, such as in 2005 when President George W. Bush attempted to privatize Social Security. Our grassroots organizing and communications will ensure that Oregon Republican House members Lori Chavez-DeRemer and Cliff Bentz feel the heat if they try to undermine our safety net programs. We'll stop them in 2023, just as we did in 2005.

We need your help to pull it off. By chipping in, you’ll give us the resources to mobilize massive grassroots opposition to any attacks on Social Security or Medicare. Will you donate to the Democratic Party of Oregon so we can make that happen? We’ve got a lot on the line, and with you on our team, we will win! 

Thanks for all you do
-Oregon Dems

P.S. You can qualify for the Oregon Political Tax Credit if you're an Oregon taxpayer making under $75,000, or $150,000 per year as part of a joint-filing couple. If you qualify, you can give up to $50 per year to a state political party and receive the full amount as a credit subtracted from your Oregon state taxes when you file (If you're part of a joint-filing couple, you can give up to $100 a year). Don't qualify? We can still use your help! Please donate any amount you can today.
