Tell the members of the Super Committee: HANDS OFF SOCIAL SECURITY!
When the debt deal passed August 2, it created a Joint Committee of
Congress—a “Super Committee”—charged with reducing the deficit by another
$1.5 trillion. Our worst fears have been realized – that this Super
Committee is likely to put a big bulls-eye on Social Security, Medicare,
and Medicaid.
Super
Committee co-chair Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-TX) has even called Social
Security, Medicare and Medicaid “cruel Ponzi schemes.”
Our research team has already pulled together the voting records and
statements of all 12 Super Committee members. At least six of them are in
favor of deep cuts to Social Security (most, if not all, of these six
want
to privatize the program), ending Medicare as we know it, cutting $1.4
trillion from Medicaid and continuing the Bush tax cuts for the richest
Americans.
We
can’t afford to lose one out of the remaining six votes between now and
November 23 when the Super Committee must report out its plan.
To be sure of that, this week grassroots groups around the country are
holding events celebrating Social Security’s 76th birthday. They are
making the Super Committee a focus of their work – demanding that it keep
its hands off Social Security!
Join
groups across the country by signing our petition and sending the Super
Committee a message: Hands Off Social Security!
We can win this critical fight. But we need you to be involved. So
please sign our petition today and pass it on to your family and friends
on Twitter
and Facebook.
Thanks for all you do,
Michael Phelan
