“Although the poll was taken on short notice, a statistically relevant 1,200 members responded with the overwhelming majority opting for Ryan over Marco Rubio and other potential choices,” Weber noted. He said that AMAC’s membership has consistently proved to be up to date on the issues and that he believed they voted the way they did because the Ryan Federal budget plan, as passed by the House, “makes sense,” particularly in light of the fact that President Obama has not submitted a budget at all for more than three years.
The AMAC chief said that Ryan’s Medicare proposal “is especially appealing to older Americans. It’s carefully crafted and ensures that seniors will continue to receive Medicare benefits. Additionally, it would let them opt out to select other choices, such as plans similar to what our Senators and Members of the House now enjoy. What we like most about it is that it puts the patient in the driver’s seat, instead of a government bureaucrat in Washington.”
Ryan, as VP, adds “gravitas”

ABOUT AMAC
The Association of Mature American Citizens [http://www.amac.us] is a vibrant, vital and conservative alternative to those traditional organizations, such as AARP, that dominate the choices for mature Americans who want a say in the future of the nation. Where those other organizations may boast of their power to set the agendas for their memberships, AMAC takes its marching orders from its members. We act and speak on their behalf, protecting their interests, and offering a conservative insight on how to best solve the problems they face today.
