The House passed H.R. 82, the “Social Security Fairness Act,” earlier this week. It was thanks in large
part to the hard work that you all put in.
This was a historic and monumental achievement, but our work is not done yet! We still face
considerable obstacles.
We do not have nearly the support in the Senate as we did in the House. And we have no way to force
a floor vote as was done with the discharge petition.
This means that our grassroots efforts are even more important! H.R. 82 passed the House on an
overwhelming 327-75 vote. This represents a mandate to end the unfairness and injustice that steals
billions from hardworking public servants every year. We need to make sure that our Senators
understand the stakes, and the clear need to act.
Our bill will repeal the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and the Government Pension Offset
(GPO), which has been a top legislative priority for the FOP since 1997.
ALL MEMBERS must reach out to their Senators and tell them they must VOTE YES for H.R. 82, the
“Social Security Fairness Act!”
This effort will not succeed without YOU, so please send this message to your Senator and follow up
with phone calls. Unless we act NOW, we will miss this opportunity to pass the "Social Security
Fairness Act” in the Senate.
Thank you for your immediate action on this important issue!
We NEED FOP members to take IMMEDIATE ACTION and call, fax, and email their Senators
and urge them to insist on a floor vote for H.R. 82, the “Social Security Fairness Act,” and to
vote YES when that vote is scheduled. Use the Action Center linked HERE to send a message.
