John,

Look at this headline from MarketWatch:

The article confirms what we’ve heard: Republicans are aiming to use the debt limit to destroy or weaken our Social Security system.

This is a fight that Social Security Works is ready for―as long as we have you by our side. Can you chip in $7 today?

The article quotes a veteran Capitol Hill staffer who says:

Reaching “a reasonable, negotiated settlement with the Republican conference is going to be exponentially more difficult” than it was in 2011.

With Republican leaders dedicated to pleasing the Wall Street CEOs who backed Donald Trump’s plans to destroy Medicare and Medicaid and de-fund Social Security, we will have our work cut out for us. But we CAN win. In fact, we have to.

Before Social Security took effect, 50% of seniors lived in poverty. Today, that number is less than 10%. This is what Republicans want to destroy.

Republicans are planning to take the debt ceiling hostage to force through Mitt Romney’s TRUST Act or similar legislation. Social Security Works President Nancy Altman is quoted in the MarketWatch piece warning that the TRUST Act is “just a way of hiding the ball” to cut Social Security benefits behind closed doors. With your help, we can stop this scheme.

Donate $7 today to save Social Security from Republicans!

Thanks,
