Retiree Roadrunner Drives to Dayton for a Stronger Economy
* 10 AM to 1 PM, Wednesday, September 17, 2008 *

(Dayton, OH) - The Retiree Roadrunner is driving home the issues that matter most to seniors. Alliance for Retired Americans members -- those who built the American Dream -- steel workers, vets, and retired teachers, want dignity in retirement and we're hitting the road to protect it.

Who: Retiree Roadrunner Van, seniors, retirees
What:  Retiree Roadrunner will visit AFSCME’s Ohio Retiree Convention
When:  10:00 AM to 1:00 PM
Where:  AFSCME’s Ohio Retiree Convention
In front of the Crown Plaza
33 E 5th St, Dayton

Alliance members care about America’s economy and are working to secure it for future generations. Says Jill Qauckenbush of Greenfield, IN, “I have never seen it so hard for working folks to just pay the rent and get the basics.”  Quackenbush is a retired auto-worker and mother of four. “These past eight years have made just getting by almost impossible and I don’t think the country could survive another four.”

The Retiree Roadrunner is visiting retiree town hall meetings, pancake breakfasts, community events about the high price of heating oil, and other outreach events throughout America’s heartland so that retirees get the facts about the economy and this election.
