Alliance National Legislative Conference

Protecting Social Security. Lowering Prescription Drug Prices. Strengthening Medicare.

Social Security, Medicare, Prescription Drugs, Pensions, and Retirement Security - the issues that drive all of us are on the media's front page and Congress' front burner.  Only senior-friendly legislation will ensure you have the quality of life you deserve after a lifetime of hard work.  And only the wisdom and action of seniors can convey the importance of these issues to themselves and their children and grandchildren.
 
We will examine all the key legislative issues before Congress.  You will hear from Members of Congress and community and labor leaders about their plans surrounding these issues.

• Expert Panelists' on Senior Issues
• Informative Break Out Sessions
• Lobby Day on Capitol Hill

Come and hear Members of Congress and key figures in debates on Social Security, Medicare, Pensions and other issues of critical importance to seniors.  

Lobby your Members of Congress so they hear directly from you about these issues.  Learn more about Alliance efforts to protect Social Security.
