"Already, retirees are refusing to grow old by traditional stereotypes. They are surfing the World Wide Web and keeping in touch with their grandchildren by e-mail. They are more physically active, more apt to take on a part-time job and more willing to volunteer," Grassley said. "But what about those who will retire in the coming decades? Are Baby Boomers prepared? Is Congress ready to help them? That is what I hope to chat about on Monday night. I especially hope that Iowans use this opportunity to log on and ask me questions and make suggestions."
