AARP – the nation’s largest senior organization – has dug into the Republican playbook on Social Security. Their new TV ad is threatening that “Social Security recipients could lose up to $10,000 a year” and their support of House Speaker Paul Ryan – the poster boy for privatizing Social Security – shows that they are out of step with their own members.
Stand with Social Security Works and demand that AARP rescind their “Champion of the 50+” award, presented to Paul Ryan this past summer, and stop using Republican scare tactics that undermine our progress on Social Security.
To: AARP
We demand that you immediately stop the fear mongering around Social Security and rescind the “Champion of the 50+” award, presented to Speaker of the House Paul Ryan – the poster boy for privatizing Social Security. Instead of using right-wing scare tactics that undermine our progress on Social Security, the nation's largest senior organization should take the right stand by representing the views of your members: Expand, don’t cut Social Security!
