Standing Up for America’s Seniors
This week, I was honored to receive RetireSafe’s “Standing up for America’s Seniors” award in my office in Dunn.
This week, I was honored to receive RetireSafe’s “Standing up for America’s Seniors” award at my office in Dunn. Here is an excerpt from their press release regarding the award:
Today RetireSafe, representing more than 400,000 seniors nationwide, and joined by local senior advocates, honored Representative Renee Ellmers for her efforts to protect the health benefits and security of North Carolina’s seniors.
Al Cors, Vice President of RetireSafe presented the RetireSafe “Standing Up For America’s Seniors” Award commemorative plaque at the congresswoman’s district office, recognizing Ellmers’ accomplishments and service to older Americans.
A bipartisan group of Members of Congress are being recognized by RetireSafe in their home districts throughout the August recess. These members have acted to protect seniors’ health care benefits, by ensuring access to affordable medications through Medicare Part D, opposing any laws or regulations that threaten the doctor/patient relationship and speaking out against proposals that threaten to limit access to health care and increase Medicare premiums.
“America’s seniors continue to count on those in Washington who are willing to put politics aside and fight for the benefits they have earned,” said RetireSafe Vice President Al Cors. “The benefits and rights of seniors are under attack and seniors need champions in Washington to preserve the benefits that many seniors depend on,” he continued. “RetireSafe is pleased to be able to recognize these Members of Congress, some of them for the second time in a row, for their tireless work in protecting Medicare and supporting seniors both in Washington and locally,” he concluded.
RetireSafe is a nonprofit, nonpartisan grassroots organization that advocates and educates on behalf of America’s seniors on issues regarding Social Security, Medicare, health and financial well-being.
