Social Security CAN'T CONTRIBUTE A SINGLE PENNY TO THE DEBT.
But Republicans are trying to create a closed door commission to cut our hard-earned benefits.
Instead, TAX THE BILLIONAIRES!

Max Miller said people have been "using Social Security as a safety net when it was" never "supposed" to be one.
My parents moved in with me because Social Security wasn't enough of a safety net.
That's the difference in this race.
"Social Security is not a handout. It’s a promise that every American pays into so they can retire with dignity.
The richest billionaires in the world don’t think you should get to retire after paying into Social Security your entire life, but I do." - @MannyRutinel
A campaign is as good as its activists. Here are the legendary Donna & Larry Smith with @MannyRutinel & me. Donna heads @SSW Mountain West & arranged for me to speak at yesterday’s @SEIU canvass launch & to intro Jason Crow, Michael Bennet & John Hickenlooper.
Sam Forstag is a Social Security champion who will always fight to protect and expand benefits — NEVER cut them!
A campaign is only as good as its activists. Wow, did they turn out on the courthouse steps in Missoula for @SamForstag!!! Here we all are getting ready for our press conference to begin. Every senior issues advocacy org that endorses endorsed Sam, including my @SSW PAC!!!

The two best looking guys in CO-08 & see if you can guess which one is House candidate @MannyRutinel. That one’s also a Colorado state rep who graduated from Yale. The other guy went to Columbia.
Manny’s dynamic, smart &, well, young too! That’s a hint.

In 2018, when @RepJasonCrow first ran, I did an endorsement event for him at Windcrest Senior Living & hundreds showed up. I knew then he was a very special candidate who’s now become a superb House member.
Great to see Jason yesterday @SEIU’s canvass launch for @MannyRutinel.

Billionaires are spending big to defeat candidates like Troy Jackson (ME), Abdul El-Sayed (MI), and James Talarico (TX).
Why?
They want anti-Social Security puppets like Susan Collins, Mike Rogers and Ken Paxton to decide Social Security’s future.

@MannyRutinel, @Hickenlooper, @SenatorBennet & me in CO-08 at Manny’s canvass kickoff this morning. I endorsed Manny on behalf of @SSWorksPAC & @SSWorks. @RepJasonCrow was there too, one of my favorite endorsees from 2018!

@MannyRutinel canvass kickoff where I endorse Manny for Congress in CO-08 on behalf of @SSWorksPAC
& intro Rep Jason Crow, Sen Michael Bennet & Sen John Hickenlooper. Quite a morning!
REMINDER: Trump’s Big Ugly Bill kicked tens of millions of people off their healthcare and is forcing hospitals around the country to close their doors.

Seniors earned every penny of their Social Security. They paid into it with every paycheck. It is not a slush fund for Washington politicians to cut or delay.

Republicans think the only way to save Social Security is to cut benefits—they just talk in euphemisms.
Democrats have better solutions, like finally scrapping the cap and making billionaires pay their fair share.

Ken Paxton has said Social Security should be privatized and joked that beneficiaries will have to “suck it up” and accept the cut.
@JamesTalarico will defend Social Security and increase benefits by making the wealthiest Americans to pay the same tax rate the rest of us do.

Another blatant abuse of Social Security data to promote political messages for Donald Trump — hundreds of millions of voter contact emails promoting Trump propaganda.
And all paid for by the Social Security Trust fund.
Mike Rogers is running for Senate in Michigan.
Mike owns two yachts — and he wants to cut YOUR hard earned Social Security benefits.
HANDS OFF!

@SamForstag goes on offense on Social Security at our press conference this morning!!!
ONLY Sam has a plan to
protect & expand the program, so his privatizer opponent Aaron Flint, should never bring it up!

Members elected this November will likely decide if seniors get screwed, or billionaires pay their fair share.
Montana’s own Sam Forstag has made a clear no-cuts pledge.
AARON FLINT WILL NOT MAKE THAT SAME PLEDGE.
Who do you trust to vote on Social Security’s future?

AARON FLINT WILL NOT MAKE THAT SAME PLEDGE. HE SAYS HE WILL 'PROTECT SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE.' A CLEAR COMMITMENT TO BENEFITS BEATS VAGUE TAX-CUT TALKING POINTS."
