Taking to the road to get the word out about retiree issues, the Alliance for Retired Americans’ eight-passenger Retiree Roadrunner vans are traveling across the nation.
 
The Roadrunner will be visiting retiree town hall meetings, pancake breakfasts, and other outreach events across America so that retirees get the facts about the economy and this election.

Each van is filled with educational materials including state voter guides, candidate side-by-side comparisons, and information on everything from Social Security and Medicare to voter rights and the stimulus rebate. They made their first appearance in Ohio and are scheduled to make stops in Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, and Pennsylvania.

“The Roadrunner vans will be bringing educational material to seniors in key states from now through the election,” said Edward Coyle, Executive Director of the Alliance. “Information on the economic security issues of seniors, as well as voter protection, will continue to be our focus.”
