SIGN THE PETITION: REJECT MITT ROMNEY’S NEW PLAN TO CUT SOCIAL SECURITY BEHIND CLOSED DOORS
All Members of Congress
Politicians don’t shut the door when they’re trying to do something popular. That’s why when members of Congress want to cut Social Security, they propose doing so in a “fast-track” process behind closed doors where they won’t have to shoulder the blame.
And that’s exactly what Senator Mitt Romney has just proposed. His new proposal, the TRUST Act, is nothing more than an extension of the Romney-Ryan plan to cut Social Security, which was overwhelmingly rejected by voters in the 2012 presidential election. The American people can’t trust Mitt’s TRUST Act.
Sign the petition and tell Congress to protect and expand our earned benefits, not cut them! Demand that any discussion about the future of Social Security must be done in the light of day, where the American people can participate in the debate.

For 84 years, Social Security has paid out all benefits in full and on time. But, starting in 2035, the Social Security Trust Fund will face a funding shortfall if nothing is done. Democrats have proposed plans to protect and expand Social Security, including the “Social Security 2100 Act,” which would extend the lifespan of the trust fund beyond the year 2100 -- paid for by having the rich pay their fair share. Senator Mitt Romney instead has introduced the “TRUST Act” -- a fast-track process to cut Social Security benefits behind closed doors. We call on Congress to reject Sen. Romney’s “TRUST Act.” Any debate over the future of Social Security must be done in the light of day where the American people can see it, and the American people’s voices can be heard.
