S.O.S.
The three letters are known commonly for "save our ship," but in today's world, I believe that it needs to stand for "save our seniors."
Not too long ago, the people who held the position of being an elected congressman or senator took the time and resources available to protect and serve our elders. Programs were put into place for senior citizens so they would have the necessary funding to ensure that they were safe and comfortable in their aging years.
Then greed and corruption became part of government. Money once available to supplement seniors such as food stamps, health care and affordable nursing homes has been long cut. Money readily available has been replaced now with long waiting periods or not at all.
Corporate tax cuts and special interest groups have caused an incredible amount of harm to the well-being of the very people that have earned our respect and deserve dignity.

We, as a nation, need to hold our officials responsible for gutting these programs.
If you are reading this, contact Congressman Sean Duffy, R-Wis., and demand that no cuts be made to programs that help seniors. Let him know that even with his multiple votes against senior needs, you will give him a chance to redeem himself for all of the tragic things happening because of his misguided agenda. Let it be known, he is running out of chances to honor the elders.
