John,
Why are so many Republican politicians trying to make us work until we die?
Multiple Republican presidential candidates and now the Republican Study Committee, the LARGEST House Republican group (including Idaho Rep. Russ Fulcher), are pushing to raise the retirement age – denying us and our kids the right to a dignified retirement.
Our Social Security system was built over nearly a century, brick by brick, always getting stronger and lifting millions of seniors out of poverty. But today’s greedy politicians want to weaken it and tear it down so that their wealthy Wall Street donors don’t have to pay another dime.
While they *are* clever enough not to try and cut benefits for current retirees, these cynical politicians think my nearly 106-year-old grandma won’t care if they screw over me and my sons as long as they promise not to touch her benefits. It’s time to show them how wrong they are.
I am proud to partner with Social Security Works, Blue Future and others to send a clear message: Do NOT touch the retirement age!
When we say “Hands Off Our Social Security,” we don’t mean just for current beneficiaries. We mean every American who pays in to the system over a lifetime of hard work deserves their benefits, and those benefits cannot be cut. Social Security is a sacred promise, and NO politician can be allowed to break it.
Sign now: Hands off our Social Security!
Onward,
David Roth
