Leaders of the Texas Alliance for Retired Americans are making plans to attend the national legislative conference of the national organization. Even though the 2008 elections are more than a year away, serious retiree leaders are already making plans for the fullest possible participation. Our incomes and other benefits hang in the balance in 2008!
In just over two weeks - September 4-7, 2007 - the Alliance will hold its National
Legislative Meeting in Washington, D.C. The theme this year is "Building
for America's Future." Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) and Rep. Dennis
Kucinich (D-OH), candidates for the Democratic nomination for U.S. President
in 2008, will speak, and we are working with other presidential candidates on
their availability. The President's Award will be presented to Elmer Blankenship,
President of the Indiana Alliance, for his lifetime of public service on behalf
of older Americans. The Leadership Award will be presented to Sen. Debbie A.
Stabenow (D-MI) in recognition of her years of outstanding leadership in the
U.S. Congress on behalf of older Americans. To obtain copies of the official
registration form, either call 1-888-373-6497, email Joni Jones at jjones@retiredamericans.org
or visit our website at www.retiredamericans.org. The conference will be held
at the Hilton Washington and Towers. Hotel reservations must be made by calling
the Hilton and Towers directly at 1-888-324-4586. Be sure to ask for the Alliance
for Retired Americans National Legislative Meeting attendee rate.
