Washington, DC- The United Seniors Association (USA) recently honored Congressman Ron Paul for his work in the House of Representatives on Social Security, Medicare, prescription drugs, taxes, and other issues important to American seniors. USA named Paul a “Hero of the Generations” for his favorable votes on key pieces of legislation during 2001.

“I want to get government off the backs of our nation’s seniors,” Paul stated. “It time to eliminate the unconscionable tax on Social Security benefits, abolish the estate tax, and put an end to harmful regulations and subsidies that keep prescription drug prices high. Senior citizens should be enjoying retirement and spending time with their grandchildren, not worrying about taxes and Medicare red tape. I applaud USA for working to expand health freedom, retirement and investment freedom, and economic freedom for American seniors.”

USA Chairman Charles Jarvis praised Paul as “Working energetically and effectively for seniors, their children, and their grandchildren. Congressman Paul has shown dynamic leadership in supporting critical legislation to protect and strengthen Social Security and Medicare, as well as working to reduce the tax burden for seniors and future generations.”

“Congressman Paul’s extremely high rating on important issues is impressive,” Jarvis continued. “I only wish we had more members of Congress like Ron Paul.”

USA is a nonpartisan, grassroots network of more than 1.5 million Americans.
