If you have trouble printing out this bulletin, check your browser page margin settings. You probably have page margins set too large which is cutting off the page.  Try this to correct the problem.  Open Internet Explorer, on the top line menu go to: "File" then "Page Setup", Be sure that page margins are set as follows:  "Top, Left, Right to 0.25", "Bottom to 0.5"  These margin settings should work for most inkjet and laser printers.

Congressional Candidate Survey
 
Your Board, led by Vice President Ray Sternot, has been busy interrogating all (approximately 200) congressional candidates in the original Ameritech 5-state region concerning their views on issues affecting retirees. Several members have also queried their candidates.  We have been using the questionnaire created by the NRLN.  The results are posted on the AASBCR web site  as we receive them.  Check the web site often, as responses keep coming in.
