As American As
Protect Our Safety Programs
Social Security, Veterans' benefits, Medicaid, Medicare, SNAP and other social safety net programs are at risk of being cut from the federal budget. But the safety of our people and our children are not partisan issues. They are as American as our democracy, the Constitution, and yes — even apple pie.
These fundamental values should never be bargaining chips as elected officials shape federal policies and agencies. The quality of life of our elderly, our children, our veterans, and our most vulnerable neighbors are non-negotiable when it comes to cuts.
Here's what you can do to fight to protect social safety programs.
Tell Congress to Reject Harmful Funding Cuts
Our elected officials should protect the elderly, veterans, children, families and those benefitting from Social Security. Cutting these essential lifelines to fund yet another billionaire tax break is unacceptable. Contact your Senators today and demand that they protect social safety programs like Social Security, Medicare, Veterans benefits, and other social programs.
Learning the Issues
As Congress continues to dramatically alter the federal government, here's what we're watching:
Instead of putting the people first, they have chosen to side with billionaires. Americans need, and deserve, investments in quality, affordable healthcare for our children, seniors, and veterans. To do anything else is un-American.
