In case you missed it, Saulius "Saul" Anuzis, president of 60 Plus Association, the American Association of Senior Citizens, published an op-ed in The Fort Morgan Times endorsing Joe O'Dea because of his support for protecting Social Security and Medicare for seniors and retirees at all costs
On O'Dea's Story
O’Dea’s story inspires. He was adopted at birth, and raised by a Denver cop. O’Dea washed dishes to pay his way through school; he dropped out of Colorado State University early to start his construction company. That company has been very successful.
O’Dea isn’t a career politician. We like that a lot. We think Washington, D.C. needs new blood.
On the Issues
On the issues, O’Dea is the real deal. Seniors can trust him to look out for us.
Joe O’Dea is fiscally conservative and will oppose the reckless spending that is causing inflation. Even the top economic minds in the Obama administration have said President Joe Biden is just spending too much. Biden’s $4.5 trillion in new spending in just two years is driving-up the cost of everything we buy. It has to stop. Joe O’Dea is focused on attacking inflation.
But, Joe O’Dea is a working man with a real heart for working people. O’Dea cares about seniors. Joe O’Dea will protect Social Security and Medicare.
O’Dea recently said, “I’ve promised to protect Social Security for seniors and aging Americans, and I will. I’ll oppose any cut to benefits for retirees and aging Americans, I’ll oppose investing Social Security in the Stock Market, and I’ll fight big spending politicians who raid the Social Security Trust Fund to spend on other programs. It’s wrong. I will not break our promise to seniors.”
And Joe O’Dea will take on the pharmaceutical industry. That’s the great thing about him: he’s an outsider, so no one will control O’Dea. O’Dea has said Biden’s plan on prescription drugs simply won’t work — it won’t make a difference — and a bigger, bolder plan is needed.
On Michael Bennet
That is the thing we like least about Senator Bennet, he always votes the party line. Bennet votes with President Biden 98 percent of the time.
We were disgusted by Bennet’s attacks on O’Dea too. Bennet ran ads saying O’Dea won’t support Medicare and Social Security.
Bennet is lying to seniors to try to scare us. It is wrong. In fact, as CBS Denver reported recently, O’Dea does not support any changes for retirees or those nearing retirement. By contrast, Bennet has advocated for entitlement reform without any guardrails around benefits for those currently using Social Security and Medicare.
