The House Republican Study Group released their plan to raise the retirement age to 70. This would force 8,653,066 people in Pennsylvania to work longer for their hard-earned Social Security benefits. Their plan is unacceptable.

could be the one vote stopping a national abortion ban from being brought to the Senate floor. Remember that, when you cast your ballot.
Will this ban pass with our current U.S. Senate? No.
But know how many more votes they need to bring a national ban to the Senate floor? One.
A lot is resting on that one Senate seat.

There is a reason the GOP tries to do this when they think Pennsylvanians will be sleeping. Well Pennsylvanians are awake now and we will not stand idly by. Make your voice heard by joining our movement to elect leaders who reflect the will of the people:
It’s almost midnight and most Pennsylvania’s are probably asleep.
Yet, the PA Senate Republicans are ramming through a constitutional amendment to ban abortion and make it harder to vote.
