Tuesday, November 4 is Election Day, and seniors in every state will be affected by the results. If right-wing extremists take over both houses of Congress, then Social Security and Medicare will be direct targets of the majority in both the House and Senate. And if anti-worker, anti-retiree governors take over state houses, then pensions are at risk, as well. Do you know your voting place so that you can prevent that from happening?

Key Senate races
and Governors' races will have an enormous impact on retirees' lives. Important ballot initiatives are
going to be decided by voters in many other states. The seat of every member of
the U.S. House will also be determined on Tuesday.
If you have
trouble at the polls on or before November 4, remember that you can call
1-866-OUR-VOTE, or go to http://www.866ourvote.org, for assistance. This nonpartisan Election Protection coalition, which
includes the Alliance, was formed to ensure that all voters have an equal
opportunity to participate in the political process. For voters who need
assistance in Spanish, http://www.mifamiliavota.us is a useful resource.
Thank you for standing up for seniors!
