What Alliance Members Accomplish by Working Together

Capitol Thumbnail In the 2008 elections, Alliance members went to the polls in record numbers. We knew it was time for a change. And we sent a lot of bad politicians straight into retirement.

Our e-mail letter campaign successfully encouraged the U.S. House to allow Medicare to negotiate lower prescription drug prices with the pharmaceutical industry.

Social Security Truth Truck Our Social Security "Truth Truck" delivered 2.1 million petitions to Members of Congress, blocking the privatization of Social Security.

    • Older Americans in 2009 face challenges on several fronts.  Health care costs continue to rise dramatically and outpace general inflation.  Seniors increasingly use more of their income for out of pocket health care costs.  In addition, the economic downturn, which began in 2008, threatens seniors' financial security.
