Washington, Jun 14, 2006 - The 60 Plus Association has presented Congressman J. Randy Forbes (VA-04) with its “Guardian of Seniors’ Rights” award for his strong support for seniors in the legislative agenda of the first session of the 109th Congress.

“Seniors are not just a group of people. They are our mothers and fathers, former teachers, pastors, and mentors. They’ve shaped our lives in so many ways.” Forbes said. “I will continue to do all that I can to protect their peace-of-mind and financial stability during their golden years. I am honored to receive this award.”

The 60 Plus Association is a 15-year-old nonpartisan organization taking on important issues such as death tax repeal, saving Social Security, working to lower energy costs, affordable prescription drugs and other senior-friendly issues featuring a less government, less taxes approach.
