(OPEN):
AS PART OF A NATIONAL "LOBBY DAY", ON WEDNESDAY [OCTOBER 12TH],
A-A-R-P MEMBERS WILL BE IN WASHINGTON TO TELL CONGRESS TO
NOT MAKE HARMFUL CUTS TO EITHER SOCIAL-SECURITY OR MEDICARE.
A-A-R-P ARIZONA STATE-DIRECTOR, DAVID MITCHELL,
EXPLAINS HOW ALL ARIZONANS CAN GET INVOLVED IN THE EFFORT...
(MITCHELL):
"WE'RE ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO SIGN AN ONLINE LETTER TO THE MEMBERS
OF THE BUDGET-'SUPER-COMMITTEE' THAT URGES THEM TO CUT WASTE AND FRAUD,
AND CLOSE TAX-LOOPHOLES--WHILE NOT CUTTING SOCIAL-SECURITY AND MEDICARE.
IN ADDITION, WE'RE ENCOURAGING ALL ARIZONANS TO CALL 1-888-722-8514,
ON WEDNESDAY--SO THAT THEY CAN TELL THEIR LOCAL-MEMBERS OF CONGRESS THE
SAME THING. SENIORS HAVE SPENT THEIR LIVES WORKING FOR THEIR
MEDICARE- AND SOCIAL-SECURITY-BENEFITS--AND THEY SHOULDN'T BE JUST
ANOTHER LINE-ITEM IN THE BUDGET. WE WANT TO SEND A CLEAR MESSAGE
THAT SOCIAL-SECURITY- AND MEDICARE-CUTS MUST BE OFF THE TABLE, AS PART
OF ANY DEAL."
