Lobby Week February 16-20, 2009
Lobby Week Appointment Listing - Please contact the staffer listed for more information on a given appointment.
Background:
Alliance
members worked hard to elect a senior-friendly
Congress. Alliance Lobby Week, February
16-20 will be an excellent opportunity to meet
with your elected officials to once again say
that seniors are counting on them to improve
Medicare and Social Security and lower the cost
of prescription drugs. After that week,
U.S. Senators and Representatives will return
to Washington for a congressional agenda that
is expected to include health care reform and
other key retiree issues.
The Alliance has prepared a Lobby Week Toolkit, which provides materials to help make Lobby Week a success, from setting up appointments to letting the national Alliance know how your visit went. There are talking points, a sample agenda, and follow-up advice, as well as updated legislative issue briefs on: stopping Medicare privatization, long term care, the Medicare Part D prescription drug plan, retirees' stake in health care reform, and seniors and the economy.
For more information on participation,
please call: 1-888-373-6497, option #1, or
