Tell Congress: Stop the Republican attack on Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security

Credo Action Petitions
January 2, 2018


Donald Trump's Republican lapdogs in Congress recently rammed a massively unpopular, cruel, and deeply corrupt tax scam into law.
Now, Paul Ryan and the rest of the right-wing Republican leadership in Congress is gearing up slash Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.

Republican ideologues like Ryan know their Robin-Hood-in-reverse agenda to enrich their billionaire donors from Wall Street by gutting our earned benefit programs is deeply unpopular.
They learned the hard way this past year how unpopular cutting Medicaid is.
That is why they are predictably using made-up excuses about the deficit to smear these important programs.

Donald Trump repeatedly pledged during the 2016 campaign not to attack Medicare, Medicaid or our Social Security system, but he has since seriously undermined these programs.
Ryan's ultimate goal is to end Medicare as we know it and replace it with a privatized program.
Republicans are whipping up a fake deficit hysteria after giving massive giveaways to the rich as a Trojan Horse to attack our earned benefits.
We must go all out to resist any cuts.

Tell Congress: Stop the Republican attack on Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.



The Credo Action Petition To Congress reads:

"Do not cut, privatize, weaken or otherwise damage Medicare, Medicaid or Social Security.
You cannot pay for your disastrous tax giveaway to Wall Street and to the top 1% with our earned benefits."
