"We are thrilled that Senator McCain has decided to address AARP's members at our annual event this September. This will be an excellent opportunity for AARP members to hear directly from Senator McCain about how he will address the health care and financial security challenges facing the nation.

"People 50-plus cast half of all ballots in 2006 and we expect similar, record turnout this election. Most notably, our members tell us that one of the reasons they vote so consistently is because they worry about their kids' and grandkids' health care and financial security. Senator McCain, like Senator Obama, has made health care and financial security fundamental aspects of his policy platform and AARP and our nearly 40 million members look forward to hearing more details in September at Life@50+."
AARP has also invited Senator Barack Obama and hopes to receive confirmation of his attendance shortly.
