Daniel,
BREAKING: New polling of key congressional budget negotiators from both red states and blue states shows growing momentum for expanding Social Security.
On average, 65% of voters in these key districts support expanding Social Security benefits, and 70% would not vote for a candidate who supported cutting them.
Over the past few months, we've worked with allies to make EXPANDING Social Security a credible part of the debate.
Can you call Representative Tammy Duckworth and Senators Dick Durbin and Mark Kirk and tell them to support expanding, not cutting, Social Security benefits?
No -- but I can chip in $3 to the PCCC's really effective work on this issue.
Our friends at MoveOn sponsored the poll conducted in states like in Arizona, California, New York, North Carolina, Louisiana, and Kentucky -- home state of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell who is more vulnerable than ever.
On Monday, the Washington Post's editorial board attacked our campaign. Elizabeth Warren responded on the Senate floor, which resulted in huge national news.
Senators Sherrod Brown and Elizabeth Warren are the two latest members of Congress to support this bold idea, and we need to keep the pressure on the rest of Congress to join us.
Call Rep. Duckworth and Sens. Durbin and Kirk to tell them to expand Social Security benefits!
(Or, you can donate $3 to help support our effective activism.)
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
-- Kimberly Fountain, PCCC Campaign Director
