In our campaign for 250 new members in 2010, we feel impelled to list some of the things retirees and boomers will NOT get with their $15 membership in the Puget Sound Alliance for Retired Americans.
They will not get a glossy 70-page magazine with a couple hundred short feature articles and hundreds of splashy photos and drawings, lightly seasoned with about 1.2% of social content.
They will not get features on youthfully aging glamour queens and other celebrities.
They will not get tips on adventurous travel to destinations they probably can’t afford anyway.
They won’t get multiple pitches for insurance or pharmaceutical products. In fact, they won’t get any paid advertising at all.
What they WILL get is The Retiree Advocate, month after month, in the tradition of Mother Jones setting crowds afire with her passion, and of Tom Paine writing furiously on the drumhead.
Our country and our people – including our millions of retirees and boomers – confront problems that are real and substantive. They can’t be addressed, much less resolved, with brightly illustrated diversionary froth.
Help your friends and neighbors keep focused on today’s realities. Use the coupon on page 7.
Think of us as today’s Mother Jones, today’s Tom Paine, rousing the countryside to address today’s crisis. Let your heart quicken as you join us in responding to today’s challenges. Strengthen our ranks, strengthen our voice. Add that new member. Today!
