Debbie Holmes, idaho's 2nd District candidate for Congress, has been endorsed by the Alliance for Retired Americans. The Alliance represents more than 3.5 million retirees, older Americans and community activists, including more than 6,900 members in Idaho. From the endorsement letter:
"Your positions demonstrate a strong commitment to improve the quality of life for older Americans. Your leadership on issues such as fighting social security privatization and strengthening the Social Security and Medicare systems exhibits that commitment. In addition, our members can support your candidacy because of your belief in the need to provide more affordable health care for older Americans, to create a Medicare drug program that benefits seniors, not insurance and drug companies, as well as the need for stronger retirement and pension security, and quality long term and nursing home care."
Debbie Holmes is pleased to receive the support of this prestigious organization which has been a strong voice for retired American workers since its foundation. She looks forward to working with them in Washington as a strong voice for the protection of retiree benefits.
