Tell Your Dem Rep: No MAGA Default, Save Social Security & Medicare

Tell Your Rep to Fight a MAGA Default

Kevin McCarthy and the MAGA majority in the House have promised to take the economy hostage, threatening to drive the US to default on our debts if they don’t get their way. Their goal is to slash Social Security, Medicare, and other programs our families and communities rely on. Cuts to these programs could be devastating for seniors, and would pull the rug out from underneath all of us who have paid into the programs. Not to mention the risks of a recession and job losses if Republicans force the government to default on its debt. 

President Biden has stood strong, refusing to engage with these bad-faith hostage-takers. He’s also made it clear that Democrats will fight against any cuts to Social Security and Medicare. But Republicans will try and peel off some Democrats, duping them in with promises of “bipartisanship” or “commissions” to find a solution. But we’ve seen this before, and we know Republicans aren’t to be trusted. 

There’s a congressional sign-on letter from Reps. Boyle, Kuster, and Jayapal that Democrats can join to make their position clear. We need every Democrat to add their name and commit to: 

• No negotiations with MAGA hostage-takers 

• No cuts to Social Security, Medicare, or other public programs

Call your Representative and tell them to sign on to the letter today!
