Sign the Petition: Social Security is not a hostage!

All US Representatives

Democratic Reps. John Delaney (D-MD) and Scott Peters (D-CA) have teamed up with Republican Reps. Tom Cole (R-OK) and David Trott (R-MI) to cut our Social Security benefits.

They’re introducing H.R. 3423, the Social Security Commission Act of 2017 whose sole purpose is to justify cuts to Social Security. And they’re tying passage of this commission to a routine debt ceiling increase―effectively taking Social Security hostage.

Sign the petition today demanding Congress take its hands off of Social Security and remove it from the upcoming debt ceiling debate.

Social Security is not a hostage or a bargaining chip. It’s a beloved program that supports millions of retirees, children, surviving spouses and people with disabilities. Tying Social Security to the routine debt ceiling increase―and fast tracking the commission’s recommendations―is unprecedented in the history of Social Security. We demand that you reject H.R. 3423, the Social Security Commission Act of 2017, and remove Social Security from the upcoming debt ceiling debate.
