AMAC Delegate Eugene Baker IN-07 meets with Congressman Andre` Carson
From Delegate Eugene Baker, IN-07:
“The visit was very respectful. Congressman Carson was very interested in our Social Security reform (plan). He gave the worksheet to a staff member to begin researching. We discussed the 2nd Amendment, pro-life issues and immigration. I stressed that we need to work together. …discussed having a Town Hall meeting. He was impressed that more than 660 (AMAC) members resided in the 7th. This was just to get my foot in the door. His staff is looking at his schedule for a possible date for the Town Hall…will keep you posted”
From Delegate Gerald Hallman, GA-10:
“On Thursday, June 20th, I delivered petitions…to Congressman Dr. Paul Broun. I spent several minutes talking to Dr. Broun…about the members of AMAC in Georgia. We discussed several of the issues that AMAC members feel are important and run hand in hand with what he feels are the problems facing America…and his stand on those same issues. He is mounting a run for a Senate seat from Georgia and feels the issues outlined by AMAC should be at the front of the campaign debates…trying to find solutions. He is for a fair tax…getting rid of Obamacare…supports 2nd Amendment rights…is pro-life. When we discussed the membership of AMAC in Georgia, he said he wanted me to remain in close contact with him, since we share the same issues. He said,” I want you to be on the state wide committee to make sure AMAC’s issues are represented…””
From Delegate Dr. Steve Maness, NJ-06:
“Just a positive follow – up to my last email stating that Cong. Frank Pallone (D) – 6th District – N.J. would NOT meet with me. After several more calls and emails, he directed his Legislative Director and Health Policy Advisor, Tiffany Guarascio, to have a discussion session with me regarding the AMAC Plan for Social Security and health care.
She will be calling me soon to discuss and both she and Cong. Pallone have copies of the AMAC Plan. It’s a start!!”
From Delegates Brad Kuiper and James Hoy, NE-02:
”James Hoy and I met with Congressman Lee Terry at 9am this morning. We were joined by assistant, Spencer Head.
The initial discussion related to a follow-up on the petitions I delivered to Congressman Terry’s office 3 weeks ago. These petitions were signed by AMAC members, asking Congress to de-fund Obamacare. We discussed the available options to Congress and the expanded costs currently projected. Congressman Terry was very receptive, but the options are limited.
We also discussed the immigration legislation headed to the House from the Senate…Congressman Terry is on guard for this action…he will be a friend to protect added projected cost to US taxpayers…we discussed the latest TARP stimulus proposals…(we) received his commitment not to support an additional stimulus..he assured us that this stimulus would not move forward for approval.”
I’m probably ahead of the report…Andy Mangione (VP Govt Relations) organized a meeting of AMAC members in Washington’s 5th Congressional District with Rep. Cathy McMorrris Rogers at her office in downtown Spokane on Friday, 25 Oct 2013. All nine AMAC members who committed to the meeting with Andy showed up. Congressman Rogers was unaware of the size of the AMAC membership in her own district, the rate of growth in Eastern Washington and nationwide in the last six months. We spent about 20 minutes discussing the AMAC SSI plan changes, and an hour discussing the Affordable Care Act (ACA). It was very informative for everyone at the meeting. We are now further encouraged to spread a grass-roots movement for AMAC and become more organized in Washington’s 5th Congressional District.
Thank you for giving seniors an alternative to Obamacare supporter AARP. We have paid taxes into Social Security and Medicare all our working lives.
