Dear John,
Tens of millions of Americans benefit from Social Security and Medicare, and these programs are viewed as the most popular and successful social spending programs in the country. And yet, Republicans, urged on by MAGA extremists and ultra-wealthy donors, are staging a full-on attack on these programs—unless we stop them.
Add your name demanding that Republicans protect and expand Social Security and Medicare rather than slashing these vital programs.
Cutting Medicare and privatizing Social Security are what Republicans dream about. They aim to fill the coffers of their corporate backers at the expense of the rest of us—and now the far-right Freedom Caucus is ready to hold our economy hostage by refusing to raise the debt ceiling until they can gut Social Security and Medicare.
Things could get bad. We risk a global financial crisis, 6 million Americans losing their jobs, and devastating families who rely on lifesaving benefits.1
Tell Speaker McCarthy and the GOP House to choose everyday Americans by expanding and protecting programs that benefit them.
These essential programs are shining examples of what good government can do for the people. That’s why the small-government GOP wants them on the chopping block.
Congress should work together to focus on strengthening and expanding popular programs like Social Security and Medicare that make our lives better.
