<message> To: President Trump cc: My representatives The planned cuts to the Social Security Administration, driven by baseless claims of fraud and inefficiency, are causing chaos and threatening to collapse the system that millions of Americans rely on. Understaffing and policy changes are creating a destructive feedback loop, with overworked employees leaving and services deteriorating. This path leads to a structural implosion that would compromise essential retirement, disability, and survivor benefits for tens of millions. Rather than dismantling this crucial program based on disinformation, we urge safeguarding Social Security's future by restoring adequate staffing and funding levels. The facts show it operates with exceptional efficiency, serving record beneficiaries on less than 1% overhead. Unfounded claims of rampant fraud disregard that improper payment rates are minuscule. Proposals to "reform" Social Security appear motivated by ideological disdain rather than substantive issues. We cannot allow politically-driven attacks to undermine a program providing economic security for the most vulnerable. Protecting and strengthening Social Security should be a paramount priority to honor commitments made to our nation's people. Pragmatic, evidence-based policies are needed, not initiatives fueled by conspiracies that risk inflicting severe damage. We call for decisive action to shield this vital safety net from further sabotage. </message>
