The Guardian award is presented to Democrats and Republicans in the House and Senate who vote "senior friendly."

Martin said he was pleased to honor Clay who has pledged to:
1. Protect Social Security and Medicare.
2. Support prescription drug benefits for seniors.
3. Favor repeal of the tax on Social Security benefits.
4. Support long term care tax incentives.
Martin also noted that Clay "will work hard to abolish the estate or so-called 'death tax, a 55 % confiscatory tax levided on your assets before they pass on to your beneficiaries."
Previous recipients of the Guardian of Seniors' Rights Award from the Peach State include Senator Zell Miller and Senator Saxby Chambliss as well as Republican Reps. Mac Collins, John Linder, and Jack Kingston.
