The FOP can proudly report that Discharge Petition #16 reached the required 218
signatures! The bill will be considered on the House floor when Congress returns
after the election.
Describing it as a “momentous occasion,” National President Patrick Yoes thanked
all FOP members who reached out to their Representatives and described our effort
as a “demonstration of the power of the FOP’s grassroots.”
There are several ways the bill could reach the floor, but we are confident that it will
be considered shortly after House reconvenes. Our staff is in regular contact with
the bill’s sponsors, Representatives Garret N. Graves (R-LA) and Abigail D.
Spanberger (D-VA), about the timing of this vote. Be sure to monitor the FOP’s
website and social media platforms for the very latest information!
We are urging FOP members to thank those Representatives who signed the
petition and “check in” with all of their Representatives and get
commitments that they will vote for H.R. 82 when in comes to the floor. You
can call, fax, email, or use the FOP’s Action Center! Let’s keep our
momentum going!
