SIGN HERE TO STOP GRAND BARGAIN, SAVE SOCIAL SECURITY

FROM BOLD PROGRESSIVES.ORG

FRIEND,

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has declared his opposition to a Grand Bargain that cuts Social Security benefits. We agree.

So the PCCC, AFL-CIO, National Organization For Women, Latinos For a Secure Retirement, and over a dozen other progressive allies are releasing an open letter with a clear message for the rest of Congress:

We support increasing Social Security benefits. Therefore, in upcoming budget negotiations, a Grand Bargain that cuts Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid benefits must be off the table.

Can you sign this letter before we announce it publicly this afternoon? Click here.

We'll announce the letter at a congressional briefing we're speaking at this afternoon. Members of Congress, congressional staff, and the media will be there. Sign now.

For the last few months, we've rallied around bills by Senators Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) and Mark Begich (D-Alaska) to increase Social Security benefits -- generating media momentum and increasing the supporters in Congress.

Now, we need Democrats to learn the right lesson from the government shutdown and play offense for a change.

Please sign our coalition's open letter telling Congress: No Grand Bargain! Expand Social Security!

In the days ahead, we'll push members of Congress to join us in signing this bold letter.

Thanks for being a bold progressive.
