The Threat to Social Security and Medicare is Still Very Real. Please Act Soon.
We can no longer take a wait and see approach when it comes to programs this important and the debt ceiling "deal."

Please take the time to call your Members, Senators and the White House and explain very clearly that the American people cannot afford cuts to Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid in this debt deal. Just pass a clean bill as we've done in the past. The President by all reports is still pushing for a major debt deal. We need him to accept a clean bill.

Here is a Legislative Hotline that will connect you to your Members: 1-800-998-0180

Here is the White House Comments Line: 202-456-1111

Thank you!

5. I have sent messages to the President.
Sending them to my "representatives" in Congress is a worthless effort -- they don't listen.

8. Deal to slash SS/MC will present a last minute- to label defenders of SS/MC as bringing default....


....as well as attempting to lay the blame for SS checks being delayed upon any Congressman or Senator UNTEGRITY TO FIGHT AGAINST THE GUTTING OF SS and MC.


What we are seeing appears to be the sleaziest bi-partisan attack of Social Security and Medicare imaginable.
