Philadelphia, PA - U.S. Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA), Chairman of the Senate Republican Conference, was recently presented with the 2006 “Guardian of Seniors’ Rights” award by the 60 Plus Association.
The Guardian of Seniors’ Rights award, is a top honor from the 60 Plus Association, and was presented to Senator Santorum for his work to protect Social Security and Medicare.
