A message from Democracy for America:
Let's just call this so-called "Deficit Commission" what it really is -- an attack on the middle class.
From the very start, right-wing Republicans have been using the commission as a platform to destroy Social Security. They want to cut benefits and raise the retirement age, knowing full well that it will throw millions of seniors into poverty.
It's wrong. That's why we supported candidates who stood strong for Social Security and that's why we're working today to hold them accountable to the promises they made.
Call your Senators right now and tell them Hands Off Social Security.
Call now at 1-866-529-7630 and tell Congress "No cuts, no raising the retirement age"
When we asked DFA members where they stood on Social Security, the answer was clear -- you said to stand strong for Social Security -- No cuts, no raising the retirement age -- and that is exactly what we're doing.
We'll deliver our Hands Off Social Security petition, with almost 100,000 signatures from across the country, directly to members of the House of Representatives this week. But today's target is the U.S. Senate. Whether your Senator is a supportive Democrat or a right-wing Republican bent on destroying Social Security, your call still has an impact. Strong supporters use these calls to back them up on the Senator floor and some Republicans will think twice about sticking their neck out against seniors if their offices are flooded with calls too.
So don't throw your hands up and think this call isn't worth it, especially because DFA members aren't alone when it comes to protecting Social Security. On Election Day, we polled voters nationwide to ask them where they stood and 85 percent said they don't want to see ANY cuts to Social Security.
That's right, even people who voted for Republicans to take back Congress said they don't want any cuts to Social Security.
Make sure Congress gets the message -- Call your Senators right now at 1-866-529-7630 and tell them Hands Off Social Security.
Thank you for everything you do.
