To the Honorable Members of the United States Congress:
We, the undersigned, citizens of the United States, express our deep concern regarding the future of Social Security. This vital program has provided a safety net for millions of Americans for generations. We urge Congress to take immediate and decisive action to protect and strengthen Social Security for current and future beneficiaries.
Whereas:
Social Security is a cornerstone of American retirement security, providing essential benefits to seniors, individuals with disabilities, and their families.
Millions of Americans rely on Social Security for a significant portion of their retirement income.
The long-term solvency of Social Security is facing challenges that require thoughtful and responsible solutions.
Any cuts to Social Security benefits would disproportionately harm vulnerable populations, including low-income seniors, individuals with disabilities, and their dependents.
Therefore, we petition Congress to:
Reject any proposals that would cut Social Security benefits, including raising the retirement age, reducing cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs), or privatizing the program.
Work to strengthen the long-term solvency of Social Security by implementing fair and equitable revenue solutions.
Ensure that Social Security remains a secure and reliable source of retirement income for all Americans.
Protect earned benefits.
oppose any actions that would weaken social security.
We, the undersigned, call upon Congress to uphold its commitment to the American people by safeguarding and strengthening Social Security for generations to come.
