To: President Donald Trump, The United States House of Representatives, and The United States Senate
Oppose The Social Security Reform Act of 2016
Recently, Sam Johnson (R-Texas), released a plan that would drastically reduce social security benefits by:
• Making the benefit formula less generous.
• Increasing the retirement age.
• Reducing the annual cost-of-living adjustment.
This plan is unfair to those citizens who fund Social Security and it sits in stark contrast to Donald Trump’s assurance that, “We will not cut Medicare or Social Security benefits, but protect them both.”
I am asking you to uphold Mr. Trump’s campaign promise to protect Social Security and safeguard its recipients. I urge you to oppose Mr. Johnson’s plan since it decreases earned benefits. Overall, this plan places additional financial burdens on those who need them the most. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Why is this important?
Donald Trump has promised to strengthen Social Security. However, Rep. Sam Johnson (Rep-Texas) is proposing changes that decrease taxpayer benefits. Reject Mr. Johnson's plan and allow Donald Trump to keep his promise.
