With your help we enrolled 170 new members in 2009 -- 20 more than our goal. Now the PSARA Executive Board has set the ambitious target of 250 new members in 2010. We’re counting on you to pitch in to help us reach that goal.
PSARA is an outstanding voice for progressive seniors and their allies in the Puget Sound region, in the state – yes, and because of our affiliation with the national Alliance for Retired Americans, in the halls of Congress as well.
For example, we’re planning (subject to Executive Board approval) to propose four resolutions for endorsement at the upcoming conventions of the Washington State Labor Council and the national ARA. One calls on Congress to eliminate the $106,800 cap on taxable income in funding Social Security; a second strongly opposes the proposed “entitlement commission”; a third calls for the elimination of the anti-democratic 60-vote rule in the Senate, and a fourth supports the proposed federal Employment Non-Discrimination Act.
When we speak for an organization of more than one thousand voluntary dues payers – as we will when we add 250 more members – we earn the respect of our elected representatives.
A growing organization is a vibrant, vigorous actor in the political arena. Invite your families, neighbors and friends to join. Carry The Retiree Advocate with you. Give the gift of news, comment and analysis that comes to your mailbox 12 times a year!
