Dear Friend, Between the election and the inauguration, there will be a movement in Congress to eviscerate Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security benefits. This so-called "lame-duck session" is when politicians feel the least accountable to voters — and when they are the most likely to push through massively unpopular legislation like a plan that does huge damage to middle class families by cutting benefits. That's why we're joining with Progressives United, the organization founded by progressive champion and former Senator Russ Feingold, to target several Republican Senate candidates in tight races. We have to get key legislators on record now, while they prepare to face the voters in November. Click here to automatically sign our petition demanding answers to a very simple question: whether they'll reject benefit cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, and make the wealthiest Americans pay their fair share in taxes? Sen. Scott Brown (MA), Sen. Dean Heller (NV), Rep. Jeff Flake (AZ), Rep. Rick Berg (ND), and Rep. Denny Rehberg (MT) will each vote on eviscerating Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security during the lame-duck session. We're petitioning them to demand an answer NOW about whether they'll stand with their constituents or their richest donors. They must tell voters now whether they will reject cuts to crucial benefits. Click here to automatically sign the petition. For years, right-wing politicians have pushed to slash crucial programs to pay for massive tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires. But America's priority should be providing a safety net and providing opportunity for those who need help, not giving even more to the already-wealthy. We shouldn't be stripping away crucial benefits for seniors, the poor and the disabled while too many of the wealthiest don't pay their fair share. That's why we must make sure key Republicans in high-visibility Senate races either commit to standing for the middle class — or face the voters on the record about what they would do. Demand answers from Scott Brown, Dean Heller, Jeff Flake, Rick Berg, and Denny Rehberg. Will they reject benefit cuts to crucial programs, and make the wealthiest pay their fair share?

It's the only way we'll compete with the big-money interests. Thank you for speaking out. Matt Lockshin, Campaign Manager CREDO Action from Working Assets
