Tell Congress: I’m counting on you to support the Older Americans Act!
http://www.aarp.org/politics-society/advocacy/info-2014/where-aarp-stands-older-americans-act.htmlThe link does not correspond to the text, because the text was in a direct email to me from AARP. Sorry for the discrepancy and thanks kindly DU'er who notified me to my bad link.
For nearly 50 years, the Older Americans Act (OAA) has been providing critical services to millions of seniors – from making sure they have healthy meals to helping caregivers get the support they need, it supports programs that families rely on every day.
Every year it's been up for renewal, Congress has voted to continue these programs. But this year, some members of Congress have held up a vote while they argue over the budget. With session ending today, we must act now to keep the pressure on Congress to take swift action.
Your senators can push the committee considering this legislation to act. Tell them to support the Older Americans Act!
