Communication to Legislators on Voting Record Report
October 8, 2013
Dear Legislator: AARP strongly believes voters should be informed on issues affecting older Floridians. With this in mind, and in response to requests from our members and from Florida legislators sitting on both sides of the aisle, AARP will identify bills of particular interest to AARP’s members and tell them how legislators vote during each legislative step on those bills. AARP will provide legislators notice of the bills selected for this reporting. AARP plans to publish a final voting record report at the conclusion of the 2014 Legislative Session. Included is a link to the voting record report which was published at the conclusion of the 2013 Session: http://bit.ly/150PKxn. In order to increase understanding of the legislation and lawmakers’ views on bills, AARP will encourage its readers to contact state legislators directly to learn more. Please direct questions or requests for additional information concerning AARP’s voting records initiative to Charles Milsted (850-577-5190), or Laura Cantwell (850-570-2110). AARP’s members and state advocacy staff look forward to engaging legislators and legislative staff through completion of the 2014 Regular Session. AARP is a nonprofit, nonpartisan social welfare organization with a membership that helps people 50+ have independence, choice and control in ways that are beneficial and affordable to them and society as a whole. AARP does not endorse candidates for public office and it does not make contributions to either political campaigns or candidates. We produce AARP The Magazine , the definitive voice for 50+ Americans and the world’s largest-circulation magazine; AARP Bulletin , the go-to news source for AARP’s millions of members (nearly 3 million in Florida) and Americans 50+; AARP VIVA , the only bilingual U.S. publication dedicated exclusively to the 50+ Hispanic community; and our website, AARP.org.
Respectfully,
Jack L. McRay Advocacy Manager AARP Florida
