It was standing room only as the Seniors in Action monthly meeting for October came to order.

     General Vice President Robert Thayer spoke about the importance of the upcoming election on November 2^nd to a crowd made up of retired IAM members and seniors from around the state, who seemed to know all to well what’s at stake.

 George Kourpias, former IAM President, now President of the Alliance of Retired Americans, stressed the importance of seniors in this upcoming election.

 79% of retired Americans between the ages of 65 and 75 cast 25% of the votes". "And those votes can put America back on track"
    This election cannot be ignored by anyone. “If we don’t act know, in 2010, Medicare will be privatized, and Social Security will be on the altar of Wall Street”.
