Disability Recipients are Still Second to All

Also covered in the letter below is Represetative Stetler's repsonse to me concering my issue that seniors always have better benefits than people on disability.

It seems that everytime a benefit or an entitlement is created it has has an age requirement that comes along with the legislation. I've written various letters to various state and federal representatives concering what I see as discrimination. The senios are always boo-hooing about their fixed incomes, well I've got the same fixed-income but I don't get senior discounts or prescription coverage paid for by the state or property tax reductions or a lot of things all because I'm not 65 years old. And yet the seniors have had the ability to plan their lives and build nest-eggs and enjoy life much more than I.

So I am committed to writing a letter everytime there is a vote for reauthorization of any benefit that is age based in nature. This legislation should be spread equally across the entire domain of fixed income recipients.
