Subject I need you to protect benefits now

Dear [my Senators]

Message

For decades, millions of American workers have paid into a national retirement system with the pledge of economic and health security in return. It was a commitment that began long ago, and I'm counting on you, as my member of Congress, to help keep it going. As an American concerned about protecting these important programs I urge you: Please don't cut my earned Social Security and Medicare benefits.

These days, cutting benefits seems to be some lawmakers' number one goal for these programs. But there is a lot we can do to reduce the cost of health care without cutting benefits. We need to address the inefficiencies in the health care system rather than attack older Americans with higher premiums, cost-sharing and privatization. For Social Security, we must lift the payroll tax cap so that the wealthy pay their fair share into the program.

Cutting already modest benefits hurts millions of Americans, their families and communities. I urge you to reject any budget proposal or legislation that cuts the Social Security and Medicare benefits Americans have earned.

Sincerely,

[First Name] [Last Name]
