| Seniors from Assisted Living Center React to Voting |
 |
Linda Karson, Chevy Chase, MD Precinct 13.
Seniors from Springhouse Assisted Living
Center aged 91-100.share their reactions to
having voted. One senior, 100 years old,
tells about the weather affecting the
outcome. A woman recalls voting for Franklin
Roosevelt and how long it took women, and
women of color, to obtain voting privileges.
It was truly an effort to get these seniors
and their wheelchairs to the polls but each
one felt it was well worth it.

| McCain Care Leaves Seniors Behind |
 |
With Americas economy in crisis, unemployment
rates skyrocketing, home foreclosures still
building and retirement savings dropping
faster than Wall Street CEOs can squander
$700 billion, the last thing seniors need is
to have their health care safety net put in
jeopardy.
John McCain is trying to pull the old
Washington bait and switch, promise voters
tax credits to pay for health care before the
election while hiding the massive tax
increases and budget cuts he would have to
push through to get it done.

| Fulfilling a Generation's Promise- Real Leadership for SR's |
 |
Often labeled "the greatest generation," our
senior citizens have seen a lot in their
time. Many of them marched for equality
beside Martin Luther King Jr., fought for
justice with Bobby Kennedy, or answered a
timeless call to service under President John
F. Kennedy.
But now, many of them need help. They're
concerned about Social Security or dealing
with the maze of coverage for Medicare Part
D. They're paying too much for prescription
drugs and coping with rising costs on
everything. More than anything, they're
worried about the country they're leaving
behind to their children and grandchildren.
Across New Hampshire, they're ready for new
leadership. They're ready for the torch to
be passed to a new generation to bring about
change we can believe in.
