Governor O’Malley called a special legislative session to deal with the states structural deficit. As a result of that legislative session, the Governor has been advised to cut $500 million from the budget. So far senior programs have not been subjected to additional cuts, but they could be.
USM NEEDS YOUR HELP. We want the Legislature and the Governor to continue to receive hundreds of post cards. We don’t want seniors to be left behind and left out. Time is of the essence. We need to continue advocate for seniors right through the coming legislative session.
Purpose
The post cards are to keep seniors on the radar of our Governor's and legislator's budget decisions.
Strategy
Continue to DELIVER the postcards to our Governor and legislators.

steps
1. Get your postcards - from NARFE, Maryland Federation, the Alliance for Retired Americans, or from Clare Whitbeck (301-475-8014)
