Tell Your Members of Congress to Vote NO on Any “Fiscal Commission” Legislation

If Congress fails to act, the Social Security Trust Fund will only be able to pay about 78 percent of scheduled benefits, starting in 2032. This would result in a 22 percent benefit cut for beneficiaries, a nearly $500 a month cut for the average retiree. But instead of focusing on solutions that strengthen and increase benefits, some lawmakers want to create unaccountable fiscal commissions to draft legislation to cut our benefits behind closed doors and fast-track them through Congress.

The future of Social Security is on the ballot with 22% across the board benefit cuts looming in 2032 — unless Congress acts. This week, the Paxton campaign publicly endorsed Social Security privatization.

The Texas Alliance is demanding answers.

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.

Dallas TARA members were very busy recently writing approximately 500 postcards for Nathan Johnson, their endorsed candidate for Texas Attorney General. TARA chapters around the state will also be doing this, plus writing cards for other endorsed candidates in their areas. Dallas will do this again after their September 2 meeting. Field Organizer Judy Bryant set up the postcard party and was joined by super activists Kenneth Williams, chapter president, Gene Lantz, state president, Tony
Chenevert, Mary Ann Climer, Fernando Rojas, Linda Coleman, James Kille, Louise Calvillo, Marty Alvarado and Sonja Pace. YALL super activist Arash Farasat also participated. A number of members checked out cards to write at home.
