Fellow senior citizens, don’t be fooled by this action. This is another ploy to get votes. We need to look at the big picture not just our needs or wants.

We don’t want this man to become president for another term. He and his fellow congressmen are spending us out of sight, into a hole.

If we look at history and we senior citizens learned U.S. history when we were in school, we saw what happened in Europe when their governments took control of their countries and took away their freedoms.

We needed to stop our congressmen from using Social Security funds for other things and we didn’t. Write your congressmen and congresswomen and tell them to stop spending what we don’t have and cut back on stuff such as personal projects that get them votes.
