It is unbelievable that this can happen in a developed country like the USA. An Elder Justice Act still gathering dust in Congress after 5 years!
Politicians from around the globe must take note that senior citizens make up a big voting bloc. We are living longer and are more active than generations before. Our unpaid work as volunteers in our society, add up to untold millions. We want laws enacted to protect us when we become more vulnerable or can no longer look after ourselves.
Politicians should also note that we are not so naïve as to be taken in by ‘promises of spending on aged care’ around election campaign time. It takes more than election promises and hand-shaking to win our votes. Listen in on our constant cry for attention to things that matter to our welfare and needs. ElderBloggers from around the world are joining forces in our fight for Elder Rights and Elder Abuse Prevention efforts. We are speaking out for those who cannot; while we still can. DO NOT IGNORE US.
