Trust
Join Now
Two days ago, your Aspiration invitation arrived in your email box. In five days, it will expire. So I wanted to take this moment to strike up an honest conversation about trust.
Trust is something that is in short supply in the financial industry – and for some very good reasons. There are too many fly-by-night operations asking for your money. And too often the big institutions on Wall Street have shown they play by very different rules and work by very different values than Americans do every day.
It's easy for Aspiration to say we're different. It's up to us to show it. Here's what we do:
  • Pay What Is Fair: We let you decide how much to pay us based on what you see us deliver. You can even pay us zero. We hope you won't but no other investment firm believes in its customers – and believes in itself – enough to make that offer.
  • Pay It Forward: We donate a dime of every dollar our company earns to charities helping struggling Americans build a better life. No other investment firm makes that kind of commitment to combining profit and purpose. And we make it easy for our customers to give to the charitable cause of their choice.
Every investment is a leap of faith. Aspiration is the only investment firm that's ready to make that leap with you.
There's no doubt we're different. It's up to you to see whether we're right for you. And there's really only one way to find out.
Join Now
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us atsupport@aspiration.com or call us at 800-683-8529.
Best,

URGENT: Urge key Democrats to support Iran diplomacy
A handful of key Senate Democrats who support the deal could still decide to join Republicans in a procedural vote to put legislation to kill the Iran deal on the president's desk and force him to use his veto pen. Call them now and tell them that a vote for cloture is a vote against diplomacy.
Click below for a sample script and the number to call:
Take action now ►
Dear Stjepan,
President Obama has the votes he needs to protect the Iran nuclear deal in Congress.
But whether the fight ends in a messy veto showdown depends entirely on a handful of key Senate Democrats vote with the president or with Republicans.
Senators Michael Bennet, Richard Blumenthal, Cory Booker, Chris Coons, and Heidi Heitkamp are on record in support of the deal, but according to our sources on Capitol Hill they're considering voting to help Republicans meet the 60 vote threshold needed to pass anti-diplomacy legislation out of the senate.
A vote could happen as early as today, so we have to act now. Call those key senators now and urge them to support the Iran nuclear deal and prevent anti-diplomacy legislation from ever reaching the president's desk.
Thank you for taking action.
Zack Malitz, Campaign Manager

Obama Now Flip-Flopping on Social Security
Dear Reader,
Recently, 70 Democrats delivered a letter to the White House, demanding that President Obama “expand Social Security benefits for millions of Americans.”
President Obama echoed this belief in an address the following day when he stated, “Here’s the truth: Medicare and Social Security are not in crisis, nor have they kept us from cutting our deficit by two-thirds since I took office… We need to keep Social Security strong.
But Obama’s new tune stands in stark contrast to his statements last year…
In the White House’s 2015 budget proposal, President Obama outlined a major Social Security cut, and the backlash from his party members was substantial.
On page 150 of the Obama Administration’s proposal, it explained the plan to “eliminate [the] aggressive Social Security claiming strategies” that some Americans are using to maximize their Social Security benefits.
Most Americans don’t realize this, but there are real and proven ways to dramatically boost your social security payments. And all of these options are still available- because Obama’s Social Security cut proposals never made it into law.
For example, one couple from Boston used a simple strategy that earned them an estimated $50,000 extra from Social Security in just four years.
One of the experts on these claiming strategies is Dr. Laurence Kotlikoff- a Boston University professor and Senior Economist on the President’s Council of Economic Advisers to Ronald Reagan from 1981-1982.
Dr. Kotlikoff says there are several totally legal and easy ways to boost your Social Security payments. You just have to understand how these strategies work, and how to put them to use.
Dr. Kotlikoff has written much more about this subject. To see our written summary of his findings, and learn more about the specifics on how to boost your own Social Security payouts, before Congress threatens to shut them down, go here.
Regards,

Michael Ford
Researcher, Stansberry Research

P.S. If you’re already collecting Social Security benefits, it may not be too late for you to “redo” your benefits and restart at a much higher rate. To visit the written summary of our findings, go here.
