AARP released the “Your Vote Counts” 2014 Voters’ Guides, featuring information from senatorial and congressional candidates – in AARP's words – "on their plans to strengthen Social Security, Medicare and financial security."
AARP’s federal Voters’ Guide poses three questions on Social Security, Medicare, and Financial Security:
- How would you protect Social Security for today's seniors and strengthen it for future generations?
- How would you put Medicare on stronger financial ground and protect today's seniors and future retirees from rising health costs?
- How would you help Americans save so they can secure their future?
|
Those questions are slightly changed from the 2012 AARP survey, but either set of questions is one of the best sources of candidate information in this election --
and many major party candidates decline to answer the AARP!
Senior voters who are AARP members should demand that all candidates respond; and younger voters should read the responses to decide whom to vote for:
this is the way election information SHOULD be gathered and distributed!
The AARP maintains a questionnaire website at AARP.org --
OnTheIssues excerpts the Senate Voter Guides for most Senate challengers and some House Representatives-elect.
(P.S. And the AARP uses numerous OnTheIssues.org excerpts in their Voter Guide as well!)
