We are off to Washington DC on January 11 to join forces with the National Retiree Legislative Network (NRLN) and other retiree organizations for the annual NRLN Leadership Conference and lobbying on the Hill.

The 2010 legislative agenda we are working toward addresses issues that are of concern to many of you: pension protection, health care protection for retirees, changes and amendments to Medicare policies, bankruptcy and Pension Benefit Guarantee reform, and changes to taxation associated with Social Security income.

The full Legislative Agenda is available here on the NRLN website.

While in DC, we will meet Senators and Representatives to voice our concerns for the unfair and questionable handling of our eroding retirement benefits and to gain their support for new legislation to protect your future.

Thanks to all of you who have given us your input and shared your concerns. We will be taking those concerns forward and are determined to be heard. More to follow when we return.
