Friend,
If you watched the State of the Union this month, you know that the President masterfully cornered Republicans into committing not to touch Social Security or Medicare — on live TV.
From Republican Senator Mike Lee saying “it will be my objective to phase out Social Security, to pull it out by the roots and get rid of it,” to Republican Senator Rick Scott planning to end Social Security as we know it and make Congress re-authorize it every five years, holding the people who depend on it hostage, Republicans have spent years saying the exact opposite of what President Biden got them to promise the American people.
And that’s because Republicans know that their proposals to cut critical investments in seniors are unpopular, so they’re unwilling to own up to them when the eyes of the nation are on them at the State of the Union.
We won’t let them walk that commitment back or let them touch other investments in our communities. I’m committed to protecting the programs that support working families and to winning back the House in 2024 — so horrific ideas like these won’t even be up for debate. Can I count on your support? <[link removed]>

Republicans like to claim they’re the party of fiscal responsibility, but there’s absolutely nothing responsible about threatening to send the country into default or targeting programs seniors have paid into their entire careers.
Working families deserve representatives who’ll fight for them, and I’m ready to do the work to elect them. Are you with me? <[link removed]>
Let’s get to it
