National Director's Report

Dear Fellow American,

   This is my first report to you as NSC’s National Director. It is an honor and a privilege to take the reins of such a dynamic and successful organization, especially at this point in our nation’s history.

   In the near future I will update you on my plans for our group.  I’ll explain where we are going, what needs to be done, and how you can help me defend all you have earned.

   However, right now I want to recongize the incredible job that my predecessor, Dr. Leslie Anderson, has done in building the National Seniors Council.

   I cannot tell you how hard it is to build an advocacy organization from the ground up. But Dr. Anderson and NSC started with no money and no members and in just a few short years have laid the groundwork for NSC’s continued growth in membership and influence.

   Dr. Anderson has moved on to enjoy his retirement. But he left you and me a strong legacy to build on. And I now must fill his shoes.

   It will be difficult but as I was told when I agreed to take this job, "Trust our supporters. Stand up for them and they will stand up for you." That is excellent advice. You can count on me to do my very best.

   Fighting to protect all you’ve earned,

   Robert Crone

Are Republicans Going Wobbly On Repealing Obamacare? PDF Print E-mail

Tom RidgeA series of statements made by prominent Republicans has National Seniors Council officials concerned about that party’s committment to repealing President Obama’s new Health Control Law.

At a recent health care reform forum attended by an NSC representative, former Pennsylvannia Governor Tom Ridge declared that he didn’t oppose large parts of the new health care law, found some of the most onerous parts of the bill to be "intriguing" and stated that he didn’t think it should be repealed completely.

After serving as governor, Ridge worked as the first head of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security under former President George W. Bush. Ridge is a very prominent "moderate" Republican who in the past has made no secret of his desire to run for national office.

NSC Uniquely Positioned for Health Care Fight PDF Print E-mail

With health care and senior citizen issues taking center stage in this year’s elections and for the foreseeable future, the National Seniors Council is uniquely positioned to represent the interests of senior citizens.

"Barack Obama and his Health Control Law have changed everything," explains NSC National Director Robert Crone. "Politics and government lobbying are now more important than ever. Patient care organizations, medical research charities and anyone who is involved with servicing the needs of senior citizens had better be prepared to go to war with the government in order to accomplish their missions. Government now has its nose in everything and for senior citizens, that will often mean rationing of everything from medical care to the allocation of federal money for disease research. At NSC, we are prepared to fight on any and every front necessary."
