Cancel the "senior tax" Medicare sign up deadline

Starting on Monday, May 15th, as many as 14 million seniors face steep lifetime penalties because they have been unwilling or unable to sign up for the costly, controlling, and confusing Medicare prescription drug program.

But it's not too late. If enough of us speak out now, we can help push Congress to act while there's still time. We'll deliver your signature and comments to Washington this week, and report our totals to the national media. Please sign today:

Congress must cancel the May 15th sign-up deadline for the Medicare prescription drug program, and reform the law to put seniors' needs first.

A compiled petition with your individual comment will be presented to Your representative and senators when you click the button below.

Dear Representative,

(Your personal note)

Seniors need a real solution to spiraling drug costs, but the new Medicare prescription drug plan is far too costly, controlling, and confusing. Congress must cancel the May 15th sign-up deadline for the Medicare prescription drug program, and reform the law to put seniors' needs first.

Privacy Policy

We do not share the information you’ve given us with unaffiliated groups without your explicit permission.

Petitions and Surveys

For petitions and surveys you've signed or completed, we treat your name, city, state, and comments as public information—for example, we may provide compilations of petitions, with your comments, to the President and legislators, other targets, or to the press. We will not make your street address publicly available, but we may transmit it to members of Congress and to the President as part of a petition. This is a standard industry practice in such situations. In no such case will we disclose your email address or phone number without your permission. We may also make your comments, along with your first name, city and state available to the press and public online.

Under circumstances where we determine that members may be misusing our systems for malicious purposes (for example, using the numbers we provide to make harassing phone calls), such activities may be reported to law enforcement agencies. In such cases, MoveOn may release personally identifiable information, including name and address, to those agencies.

Sending Emails Via MoveOn.org Political Action

In certain cases, we enable you to send individual e-mails to the President, legislators, and other targets as well as Letters-to-the-Editor to various news publications, through our website. These messages are sent in your name, with your e-mail address as the return address and your full name and contact information is provided as part of the submission. These messages will only be sent out under your name as you approve them on an individual basis using our email tool. You are solely responsible for the specific message(s) you send using our email tool.
