AARP lanza una nueva ola de acciones urgiendo al Congreso y la Casa Blanca a proteger la Seguridad Social y Medicare de los recortes a los beneficios

Un nuevo aviso nacional por televisión, actividades de base y una embestida al Capitolio les dicen a los legisladores: "Los adultos mayores no se dejan atropellar".

WASHINGTON, 14 de julio de 2011 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ --En el día de hoy, AARP lanzó su última ola de acciones, centralizadas alrededor de un nuevo anuncio televisivo directo, que urge al Congreso y al presidente a tomar decisiones responsables durante el debate sobre la reducción del déficit, recortando el derroche y cerrando las vías legales de evasión, en vez de recortar beneficios cruciales de Medicare y la Seguridad Social que millones de estadounidenses han ganado a lo largo de una vida de trabajo esforzado.

El nuevo aviso de costo multimillonario es el tercero de AARP que se centra específicamente en el debate sobre el déficit, y comienza a emitirse hoy a nivel nacional y en mercados locales. Además de los avisos televisivos, los líderes de AARP están comunicándose con el Capitolio para urgir a sus congresistas a oponerse a los recortes a los beneficios de la Seguridad Social y Medicare como parte del acuerdo para pagar las deudas de la nación. AARP mantiene la presión sobre el Congreso y el presidente, comprometiendo a sus millones de miembros a hacer oír sus voces a través de correos directos, llamadas telefónicas, alertas por email y reuniones abiertas vía "tele-townhall".

"Estamos llevando la voz de los estadounidenses de más edad al aire, al Capitolio y a todo el país", dijo Nancy LeaMond, vicepresidente ejecutiva de AARP. "No recorten los beneficios de la Seguridad Social y Medicare que los mayores han ganado".

AARP emitirá el spot televisivo a partir del 13 de julio. El guión del aviso es el siguiente:

"Soy abuelo. Profesor retirado. Y cuento con la Seguridad Social.

"Esto es lo que no soy…

"Alguien que se deja atropellar.

"En este mismo momento, en Washington quieren llegar a un acuerdo recortando los beneficios de la Seguridad Social y de Medicare por los que hemos trabajado.

"Con millones de dólares que se derrochan o se van por agujeros legales, ¿con qué cara nos pueden mirar?

"A lo mejor se piensan que somos un blanco fácil…

"Hasta que te das cuenta…

"…que somos 50 millones.

"Díganles a los políticos que recorten el derroche y los agujeros legales para la evasión, y no nuestros beneficios".

Hasta el momento, se han firmado casi 4.5 millones de peticiones que se entregarán al Congreso y han entrado más de 500,000 llamadas y correos electrónicos a las oficinas parlamentarias y a la Casa Blanca en las últimas semanas, urgiendo a los líderes electos a proteger a la Seguridad Social y a Medicare contra los nocivos recortes como parte de un acuerdo para elevar el techo de la deuda pública.

Añadió LeaMond: "Sabemos que Washington necesita tomar decisiones difíciles para reducir el déficit, pero deberían tomar decisiones responsables en vez de recortar los beneficios de la Seguridad Social y de Medicare por los que los adultos mayores han trabajado durante toda su vida".
