August 11 update Penn Action group in Bucks County!

We hope that you are having a great summer.  This time of year is so busy, and even more so this year because of the Presidential elections.

 

 

 

You may have never heard of this organization, but they are so important!  http://www.ncpssm.org/

A team from our group was invited to be trained in Washington DC at the end of June by this group.  They work very closely with us at Penn Action.  They continue to support our efforts to educate and support people in keeping the benefits safe.  We need to keep showing people that the Ryan Budget will kill these programs as we know them, and a variety of other misinformation sound bites that are thrown around in the media.

Joan King has been named as the liaison between the progressive activists in Bucks County and the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare.  Congratulations Joan!

The National Committee – NCPSSM is providing support for a fun and informative “Bus Tour” in Bucks County.  At least 3 stops will be made in Upper, Middle, and Lower Bucks County to share the TRUTH about Obamacare, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid!  How trying to kill these programs through the Ryan or Republican budget is bad for everyone except the wealthy.  Event is August 29.  Can you meet us at one stop and show support?  More details to come!
