Any advice???
So, has anyone been watching the debates. If you have you'll have noticed a silence when it comes to ageism or boomers in general. If a national health insurance policy is discussed at all it's done at breakneck speed and off to other topics. For many I guess it's 'I'll worry about when I get there', but the reality is if you're lucky, you get there!
We are one of if not the fastest growing segment of our society. Either through retirement or getting caught up in housecleaning of 50 plussers the numbers grow daily. And as for housecleaning it's called realignment strategies for improved productivity.
Whether you've been smart and industrious or just struggled to get by most will wind up with a finite amount to survive on. Unless of course you're the one that won the 300 plus million Powerball a couple of week ago. Then this is probably a bore.
I understand that we face significant problems as a nation. War, our youth is dying because of it. No stop gaps on energy costs, congress convenes hearings and sternly admonish Oil exes that smugly raise prices the next day. Pop up mortgage houses lending ARMs to people who will never be able to pay them back if one hiccup happens in their life. And right now all those notes are getting to 5 years and it's not completely here, it's just starting to hit the fan. Now there is a jump in unemployment and a drop in new jobs so everyone is talking recession on the money channels.
So, we are part of that, it concerns us, but what doesn't seem to concern them is US. 50 and above.
My whole discussion here is that we have around 14 months until we hire the next crew for the "Inside the beltway" jobs for the next 4 years. So, I pose this question, what do we do to get our voice heard and let them understand that they need our support and vote. I know we can write individual letters to party offices and congresspersons but how do we get heard as a group that will be heard. We are a disparate herd with different affiliations, interest and beliefs. In my sense it's not important who you cast your vote for as long as they have worked for it and will work for you. I know there has to be people in our family of a thousand that have organization, outreach and communications skills that may be able to give us ideas. Like I said,14 months.
