Dear John,
Hard-right politicians in Congress have indicated a readiness, even eagerness, to hold our economy (actually, the global economy!) hostage unless severe cuts are made to your Social Security and Medicare benefits. And it’s clear they’re not bluffing.
Make no mistake, this powerful faction in Congress doesn’t want to just trim seniors’ programs, they want to scalp them. And that would be devastating to the retirement security of millions of older Americans who rely on their earned benefits just to afford their basic needs and frankly get by.
I’m not trying to be an alarmist, but your earned benefits are hanging in the balance!
Today too many wealthy and well-connected politicians in Congress don’t understand the needs of workers and retirees — or they simply don’t care. What’s worse, some lawmakers are too easily persuaded to do the bidding of Wall Street bankers, Big Pharma executives and huge insurance companies.
And so before votes are cast that would devastate your financial security and limit your access to quality and affordable health care, we really need you and all National Committee members and supporters from all 50 states to voice your concerns directly to your lawmakers.
Americans who make their wishes unmistakably clear to Congress in overwhelming numbers have the best chance to defeat harmful legislation. That’s the way our system works. Please sign our urgent petition today!
Sincerely,
|
