John,

During the pandemic, Donald Trump tried to use executive action to unilaterally defund our Social Security system―and Republicans were happy to go along.

Now, even without Trump to hide behind, Republicans are showing their true colors―putting it into their budget proposal!

We fought back and saved Social Security from Trump, and we’re going to make sure that this dangerous Republican proposal never becomes law. Chip in to our rapid response fund today!

Social Security’s dedicated funding was put in place at its inception to make sure that, as FDR said, “no damn politician can ever scrap my Social Security program!”

It worked for over 80 years―protecting Social Security’s dedicated funding from being spent on unrelated priorities, and giving the American people peace of mind that Social Security would be there for them. So naturally, Wall Street-loving politicians who have been hell-bent on destroying Social Security since 1935 see eliminating Social Security’s $2.9 trillion trust fund as a necessary step to its ultimate ruination.

By mashing Social Security’s dedicated funding with the government’s general operating fund, the very thing that has protected Social Security for all these years would be gone, and it won’t be long before more cuts come.

We need to stop those cuts now. Republicans are showing us what they’ll do if they get power back―we need to go all out to stop them! Chip in $7 to save Social Security from Republicans!
