Take A Stand

With only a few days before the final Presidential debate, Northern Virginia AARP volunteers joined with AARP staff and volunteers from the national office and other states to ask Fox News, the debate sponsor, to question the presidential candidates for their positions on funding Social Security.

Lisa W., 52, is married with one daughter who is a senior in high school and planning to go to college next year. Lisa began working at the age of 16 and has been paying into Social Security for the past 36 years. She first worked in fast food in high school, waited tables in college, and managed restaurants for a time before settling into her current job as the Director of Marketing at a regional credit union.

Lorraine Bratton of Roanoke is a veteran AARP volunteer. She has been active with the Take A Stand campaign, attending candidate events and representing Take A Stand at community activities. This is her report from a recent campaign event she attended.

Voters will have only one opportunity to see the candidates for Vice President of the United States face off in a debate. On Tuesday, Oct. 4 AARP Virginia is hosting debate watch parties in Richmond and Virginia Beach so that voters can have fun, enjoy snacks and discuss the debate with their peers.
