"Our members come first in everything we do, whether it's our advocacy on Capitol Hill and in the states or the products and services to which we lend our name," Hammond said.  "This is one of many opportunities AARP members and the public have to talk with us directly about the work we're doing.  We look forward to answering their questions tomorrow and addressing members of Congress on Friday."

The web chat will be open to all members of the public.  No log-in will be required.  Due to the number of participants expected, AARP may not be able to answer every question submitted.  Members and the public can also contact AARP at [email protected] or by calling 888-OUR-AARP (888-687-2277).
