The President mentioned issues of health and economic security that are important to the 50+ community during the recent State of the Union address. Novelli provides commentary on what the President's agenda for the next year means for boomers and all older Americans.

With nearly 38 million members, AARP is the leading nonprofit, nonpartisan membership organization for Americans 50+. On January 16th, AARP along with other national organizations will be launching a partnership to amplify the message that attaining health and long-term financial security is vital for all Americans and these issues must be included in the national political debate.

Also, beginning with the 110th Congress, AARP will be recording House and Senate roll call votes on key issues and informing its members of the results. With exit polls showing that roughly one out of every four voters were AARP members, Novelli believes AARP members need and deserve to know where their elected officials stand on the issues.
