An open letter to the President & U.S. Congress; State Governors & Legislatures

Lutnick Advocates To Stop Sending Social Security Checks And See Who Complains.

1 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

Are you seriously this OUT OF TOUCH? Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick just said the best way to find Social Security “fraudsters” is to STOP SENDING CHECKS and see who complains. According to him, even his 94-YEAR-OLD MOTHER-IN-LAW wouldn’t notice if her payment didn’t arrive. This isn’t just insulting—it’s DANGEROUS. Let’s be very clear: Social Security is NOT AN ENTITLEMENT and it is NOT A PONZI SCHEME, no matter what Elon Musk says. Americans paid into this system with every paycheck. It is THEIR MONEY—not charity, not a handout. Now they’re being told their benefits might be withheld just to test if they’re “legit”? Do we really want to STARVE OUR SENIORS or let them be EVICTED just to “see who screams”? What kind of system is that? This feels like a DISTRACTION—while the real agenda is to PRIVATIZE SOCIAL SECURITY and put it in the hands of billionaires. So here’s what I want to know: DO YOU SUPPORT THIS? YES OR NO? Because millions of Americans depend on Social Security to SURVIVE, not to scam. And they deserve to know if their representatives will FIGHT FOR THEM—or quietly stand by while their future is stripped away. Your silence? It’s getting LOUD.
