INDIVISIBLE – Grassroots political action for seniors – MAKE POLITICIANS LISTEN!

“Indivisible, A Practical Guide for Resisting the Trump Agenda”

A number of former congressional staffers have written this guide listing best practices to make congress listen. It contains local advocacy tactics that work.

I am interested in old people applying the lessons. In 2014  people in the US over 65, constituted 28.4% of the voting population. Check your state. How many voted? How many over 65 voted? What does your state do for seniors? What senior benefits are being cut?

The next generation of seniors will have little money to support themselves. Families are spread out. Homeless seniors may be the future unless you do something.

What do you want from your government?

Seniors are interested in preserving:

1. Social Security
2. Medicare
3. Medicaid
4. Consumer protection
5. Savings
6. Fraud and scam protection
7. Their assets
8. Their health

and a lot of other things. Seniors have more difficulty finding jobs, have more medical problems and have less time to live than the rest of the population.

Seniors must do something! Is there a grocery cart loaded with your possessions in your future?

Seniors can make a difference:

1. Seniors have time
2. Seniors have a life-time network of people
3. Seniors have organizations – church, senior centers, senior services, etc.
4. Seniors have families and friends
5. Seniors have more skills than they know
6. Seniors need a purpose…
7. And, Seniors are bored and need something to do.

The bottom line is that seniors can make a political difference.

Seniors just need guidance; and, Indivisible provides it.

When was the last time you were involved, really involved, in anything worthwhile?

Indivisible tells you what works and what doesn’t. It tells you where and how to start. It tells you that you what you can do at the grass-roots level. And, if the Tea Party could do it, you can do it.

Check your precinct voting record for the last election. A small turnout? How much did the conservative candidate win by? A few votes would have made a difference. Look what the Tea Party managed to do six years ago using a lot of the techniques set out in Indivisible. How many seniors voted? How many could have voted? Would those votes make a difference?

You can go to meetings. You can ask questions. You can call your elected representative. You can organize your neighbors. You can provide a ride to the polls.

It will only take a few “old votes” to make a change.

You can buy Indivisible on Amazon.com for $3.59.

Join an Indivisible group; or start one for old people.

Then, get off your ass, turn off the TV and see how you can make a difference for yourself, for your neighbors and for your grandchildren who will be old sooner than you think.

Look in the mirror! Who do you see there and what is that person doing for the society that has benefitted him/her?

There are now over 6000 Indivisible groups in the US.

You can check out the Albuquerque Indivisible Group.

THINK OLD!
