The President of the 685,000 members United Seniors Association (USA) has commended Representative Ron E. Paul for his voting record during 1999 on issues concerning senior citizens.

Representative Paul earned a 100% rating during 1999 on seniors issues. Seniors really appreciate his support. He voted right on the big issues of interest to seniors, USA President Sandra Butler said.

USA rated seven votes in the House of Representatives and ten votes in the Senate, including preserving Social Security surpluses, tax limitation, Social Security Lock Box legislation, tax cuts affecting seniors, the rights of grassroots organizations to communicate with the public, and health care reform.

I believe it is important for members of Congress to receive feedback on their voting records. I’d like to publicly thank Representative Paul for his support throughout last year, Butler said.

She said that senior’s issues, particularly legislation to stop the raid on the Social Security Trust Fund, will continue to be prominent in Congress throughout 2000.

It is vital that Social Security surpluses be saved, not spent. With the continued support of Representative Paul, I am hopeful that the Lock Box Bill will be enacted into law this year, Butler said.

United Seniors Association is the leading conservative seniors organization working to ensure the retirement security of all Americans.
