Folks,

I know the country is focused on impeachment right now, but I wanted to make sure you didn't miss this -- while he was in Davos this week, Donald Trump gave an interview in which he opened the door to cutting Medicare and Social Security.

That's a big change from what Trump promised back in 2016 in a speech in St. Clairsville, where he said, "We're going to save our Social Security. We're going to save our Medicare. Others want to cut. We're going to save so much."

It's one more broken promise -- and it's one more reason we can't afford a second term of Trump.

Ohioans depend on these insurance programs to retire with dignity. Can you add your name to this petition and stand up for Social Security and Medicare?

Further cuts to Social Security and Medicare would be devastating for our state. Nearly 2.4 million Ohioans depend on Social Security, and Medicare provides health coverage for nearly 2 million older Ohioans and hundreds of thousands of Ohioans with disabilities.

Senate Republicans who have discussed it with the president say he has called it a "second-term project." That makes it clear what's at stake in 2020 -- if Trump wins a second term, he will cut Medicare and Social Security, hurting millions of retirees and Ohioans with disabilities.

We need to hold Trump accountable for his broken promises. Click here to add your name to call on Trump and Ohio Republicans to stand up for Medicare and Social Security:
