North Carolina Senator Kay Hagan joins the Older Americans Act Support Drive! Sen. Hagan sent us this statement of support, her letter to Ellen Whitlock, Executive Director of Senior Resources of Guildford.
I want to thank Senator Hagan for supporting the Older Americans Act. As a delegate representing Yancey County , N.C. in the Senior Tar Heel Legislature, I commend her support and hope she will help strengthen the act and keep it funded. The need is great. At present we have over 18,000 persons on waiting lists throughout N.C.maryallen Burnsville, NC
I want to know why Social Security is broke, I remember when the box was gone into and it was never Paid back, WHY! Why should seniors suffer because polititians can't get their act together! They spend more than they have and expect us to take up the slack! We need to throw all of them out and start all over again! My husband was told if he paid the max and then some, social security would always be there. Was that a lie? I'm 69 and still have to work just to buy medicine! The golden years means the gold it takes to take care of us!Barbara Washington, NC
