AARP Eye Center
While lesser campaigns might be tuckered out after our breakneck week covering The Donald, Take A Stand New Hampshire proved once again that we New Englanders are as sturdy as Robert Frost’s backyard fence.
We hit the ground running on Monday with a sweet ice cream social at Arnie’s Place in Concord.
On Tuesday, we took a trip up to the AARP NH State Office to lend a hand with an interactive Tele-Town Hall featuring our esteemed Governor Maggie Hassan. State Director Todd Fahey had the honor of chatting with the Governor for over an hour on everything from caregiving to the future of Social Security in the Granite State.
The last week also saw two major wins for Take A Stand’s effort to bring Social Security to the center stage of the 2016 election – with both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump taking to the airwaves with Social Security lingo in tow.
And these yuuuuge shout outs couldn’t have come at a better time, with our beloved Social Security turning 81 years old this week. Naturally, we had to invite a few of our friends over to the Field Office to throw the program a proper surprise party.
And we capped our week off by taking to the field to canvass and collect petition signatures at Vice Presidential candidate Tim Kaine’s visit to the Granite State.
Where we met plenty of Granite state voters who were more than willing to tell us why they stand for a stronger Social Security …
as well as a Virginian who not only made a point to show his support for our favorite Birthday Program …
but also showed his “love” to AARP.
