Retired Americans’ Letter to Editor Program Continues in 2009
Alliance for Retired Americans President George Kourpias encourages union retirees to contact their local newspapers about key issues—and get a union-made Retirees with the Write Stuff free pen.
In 2008, all of you who are members of the Alliance for Retired Americans took action on the issues, asking tough questions of candidates and policymakers, unafraid to tell others in your community what was on your mind.
And because of you we achieved a great victory on Election Day. We will have many new faces in public office, from the White House down to our city and town halls. This is a historic opportunity to advance a pro-retiree agenda at all levels of government, one that improves the quality of life for millions of seniors.
That’s why the Alliance for Retired Americans’ letter to the editor program, Retirees with the Write Stuff, is continuing through 2009. The Letters to the Editor page is often the most widely read section of a local newspaper, and January is a good time to share your retiree perspective on the events of 2008 and what you hope to see in the coming year.
