Washington, D.C.- - ‘Thank
you Representative Henry
Bonilla, you and your colleagues
did what you said you would. You
put a stop to the raid on Social
Security and for that monumental
milestone, senior citizens are
grateful to you.”
Those words of praise were
heaped on Bonilla and others
recently by the president of a
national senior citizens organiza-
tion as the first session of the
106th Congress came to a close.
60-Plus President Jim Martin
stressed his group is non-
partisan, honoring Members of
Congress in both parties with its
Guardian of Seniors Rights
Award, but Martin emphasized,
“in this instance, we thank the
Republicans for this historic
achievement. In my 37 years of
working on or around Capitol Hill,
it’s been a little publicized fact
that for more than 30 of those
years, the other party has dipped
into Social Security funds to pay
for non-retirement programs.”
Martin added, “I also person-
ally thank Representative Bonilla
on behalf of not only 60-Plus but
my favorite senior-who’s 80 plus-
-my mom. My wife and I also
thank you on behalf of our chil-
dren and eight grandcnuoren.’’
Martin called Rep. Bonilla “a
proven fighter for seniors” and
said Bonilla’s work to “stop the
raid provides one more solid rea-
son why seniors know they can
count on Rep. Bonilla.
“Seniors thank you from the
bottom of their hearts. We believe
your action effectively ends the
other party’s 30-year raid on the
Social Security Trust Fund, mak-
ing it truly a Trust Fund, not a
Slush Fund. As Speaker Dennis
Hastert (R-IL) has said, ‘we have
turned a corner by protecting the
Trust Fund and we will not turn
back.’
‘The days of Congress using
these surpluses as their own per-
sonal piggy bank, for their favor-
ite spending projects, are over,”
Martin concluded.
The 78-year-old honorary
chairman of 60 Plus, former Rep.
Roger Zion (R-IN), who served in
Congress from 1967-75, was in
town from Evansville for the oc-
casion, and he termed stopping
the raid “a major victory for sen-
iors.” Zion said he’s watched Rep.
Bonilla’s career and “you can
depend on Henry Bonilla to do the
right thing for senior citizens.”
EXPAND A CHILD’S
MIND THROUGH
READING
COLLEGE STATION-
Between the covers of a book, a
child can discover endless pos-
sibilities. Jasmine Ng, an associ-
ate with the Texas Agricultural
Extension Service’s Partner for
Parenting program, suggests that
it is never too late to begin read-
ing to a child. Through reading,
parents and caregivers not only
provide loving interaction for chil-
dren, they can also expand the
child’s world of learning.
“Experts have suggested that
reading to children should start
when they are very young, as
young as a few months of age,”
says Ng. “Babies a few months
old can look at pictures and listen
to a parent’s voice. Babies older
than eight months can even point
at pictures in a book.”
There are several benefits of
reading to children. page 5
