Will you sign the petition to protect Social Security and Medicare from GOP attacks?

Dear Friend, House Republicans recently passed a bill with a razor-thin margin that cuts billions of dollars in life-saving public benefits and overturns President Biden’s greatest accomplishments, all because MAGA Republicans demand to raise the debt ceiling. They want to cut SNAP benefits and Medicaid, repeal hundreds of billions of dollars in clean-energy subsidies, rescind IRS funding, and make the student debt crisis permanent—all simply to raise the debt ceiling which would enable the U.S. to pay debts that congressional spending has already incurred. 1 [Sign the petition to demand that the GOP protects programs that serve the public good.]( [SIGN NOW]( Tens of millions of Americans rely on these overwhelmingly popular social programs to protect their livelihoods and families. The 45 million Americans who are currently being crushed by over $1.5 trillion in student debt will be denied the relief they need to move forward with their lives. 2 Despite our work confronting a historically dangerous threshold for global warming and the climate crisis, McCarthy, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and their Republican cronies want to slash Biden’s historic investments to fight climate change. 3 [Sign if you agree: We must do everything we can to urge Republicans to defend programs that serve everyday people, not slash these essential programs as part of an extreme MAGA agenda.]( [SIGN NOW]( MAGA Republicans are relentless in their attacks on essential programs and investments that serve the public good and tens of millions of Americans, all to uphold their manufactured debt ceiling crisis. They’re eager to sell our livelihoods and future so they can line their pockets with their corporate backers’ money. But here's the thing: there are Republicans who know how unpopular these proposals are. If they hear loud-and-clear that their constituents are watching, pressuring them, and ready to call them out, they will break from Republican leadership and allow the U.S. to pay its debts without holding essential programs hostage. [We can’t afford to have public benefits gutted for the GOP political agenda! Republicans must join Democrats to raise the debt ceiling and stop playing games with our essential programs and investments. Add your name if you agree.]( [SIGN NOW]( Thanks for all you do. –MoveOn Sources: 1. “Here’s what’s in the House GOP bill to raise debt limit, cut spending,” The Washington Post, April 19, 2023 [( 2.
