Call to Action: Protect Constitution; Pass Social Security Reform (February 26, 2019)
PROTECT THE CONSTITUTION
PASS SOCIAL SECURITY REFORM
We have said repeatedly that Congress must:
- Stand up for democratic institutions
- Protect the constitution and revoke Trump’s (fake) national emergency
- Safeguard the public and make sure the Mueller report is issued in full and original form, minus redactions of sources and methods
At the same time, we must resist the tendency to focus only on crises. A symptom of authoritarianism is that people stop planning for the future because so much is out of their control.
Therefore, we are raising the issue of reforming Social Security.
- Social Security is under the Senate Finance Committee’s jurisdiction, where Senator Wyden is Ranking Member
- The House is considering the Social Security 2100 Act to expand and stabilize Social Security
We ask our Members of Congress to:
- Champion the Social Security 2100 Act.
- Stand up for the Constitution and revoke Trump’s (fake) national emergency.
- Do all they can to make the Mueller report public and support a subpoena of the Mueller report if necessary.
Protect Our Present and Our Future!
Please Make Your Calls!
**ACTION ONE: CALL OUR SENATORS**
Sample script for Senators Wyden and Merkley:
“My name is [name]. I’m a constituent living in [town/city], [ZIP code]. I am calling to ask the Senator to do three things to protect our present and future:
- Push to revoke Trump’s (fake) national emergency in the Senate.
- Persuade Republicans to investigate illegal efforts to influence our elections.
- To champion the Social Security 2100 Act in the Senate.
Thank you.”
