NEBRASKA FOR US DEBUTS NEW SPOT ON SOCIAL SECURITY & MEDICARE FOR PAID MEDIA PROGRAM
OMAHA, Nebraska (June 12, 2024)—Today, Nebraska For Us is announcing a new spot as part of its paid media program designed to raise awareness about Congressman Don Bacon’s record on key economic issues, with the goal of affecting future legislative outcomes in a manner that directly benefits working class and middle income Nebraskans.
The latest placement will highlight Congressman Bacon’s record of supporting cuts to Social Security and Medicare and support for raising the retirement age. He must protect our benefits by supporting H.R. 4583—which would increase Social Security benefits, lower taxes for middle income recipients, and close tax loopholes that keep the wealthy from paying their fair share to protect Social Security for the next generation.
“For years, Social Security has been turned into a political game where a large number of politicians believe it should be working class and middle income Nebraskans who are paying the price by cutting benefits,” Nebraska For Us State Director Angie Lauritsen said. “In reality, there are workable solutions to protect benefits that ensure the ultra wealthy are contributing in a fairer way.”
“I’ve paid into Social Security and Medicare my entire career so that when I retire I can take care of myself,” Omaha taxpayer Betti Thomasian said. “I am living paycheck to paycheck, and Congressman Bacon wants to cut what little benefits I will have.”
Nebraska For Us is a coalition of concerned Nebraskans focused on economic issues, like taxes affecting small businesses, along with jobs, Social Security, Medicare, the cost of living, inflation, and many more.
The broadcast placements began airing in the Omaha media market in late January and will continue in the weeks ahead. You can view the latest ad that will run on TV, digital, and radio here. Additionally, you can view our past spots on protecting the Inflation Reduction Act along with opposing tax cuts for the ultra wealthy at the provided links.
