Affordable Health Care
Thu, 11/12/2009 - 17:27 — admin Dear North Carolina Senior Democrats,
Over the weekend, we made history. By a vote of 220 to 215, the House passed the Affordable Health Care for America Act. By passing this bill, the House of Representatives stood up for your needs over powerful special interests in Washington.
North Carolina has 13 house members, 8 Democrats, and 5 Republicans. Five out of eight democratic congressional representatives voted for Healthcare Reform on the floor Saturday night. They were Representatives G.K.
Butterfield # 1; Bob Etheridge # 2; Brad Miller # 13; David Price # 4 and Mel Watt # 12.
Representatives Larry Kiss ell # 8; Mike McIntyre # 7 and Heath Shuler # 11 seem to have their own agenda. They gave no explanation as to why they voted against reform. These people just gave the North Carolina Republican Party a big edge. Numerous attempts have been made by telephone to ask these representatives why their vote went astray. No answers have been received. We should have had all eight Democrats voting in favor.
When Larry Kissell ran for office, he said he would be a voice for hard working families and would resist pressure from multi-national corporations and stand with everyday North Carolinians. He vowed to protect us from
corporate greed and we need to hold him to that promise.
From Representative Larry Kissell’s Newsletter Oct 28, 2009:
I hope to soon be able to report that Congress has passed legislation to help seniors by correcting the lack of cost of living adjustments to Social Security. There is significant support for giving a $250 one-time allowance for seniors to help weather this recession. The checks would benefit 57 million seniors. This check would be equivalent to a two percent increase for most Social Security retiree recipients. It will help bridge the gap for most seniors as they struggle with no COLA adjustment this year. It is important that we do what we can to help this most vulnerable community.

Homestead Act
Stimulus is a word that means “something that arouses action or activity or a strong response from another.”
According to the rhetoric of the federal government, we must stimulate our economy in order to get the sequence of spending and saving our monies back into a working cycle. Yet, senior citizens are being humored not stimulated.
