The House passed H.R. 82, the “Social Security Fairness Act,” in September, in large part because of
the FOP’s advocacy campaign and grassroots activism. Our bill passed the House on an
overwhelming 327-75 vote—giving us a clear 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 need to act!
To bring the Senate’s focus and attention to this legislation, the FOP and other unions representing
public sector workers are staging a rally on Wednesday, 11 December at 11:30am in the Upper Senate
Park near the Russell Senate Office Building. National President Yoes and the bill’s House and Senate
sponsors will be speaking and calling on the Senate to hold an up-or-down vote on the legislation.
Even if you can’t be there, you can still support the FOP’s grassroots push to get a vote on H.R. 82! In
addition to contacting both of your Senators and asking that they support H.R. 82, you can contact:
Senate Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) at 202-224-2158 and Senate Minority Leader Mitch
McConnell (R-KY) at 202-224-3135 and ask them to work together to schedule the bill for a vote
on the House floor.
Also contact the Senate Committee on Finance – especially Ranking Member Michael D. Crapo
(R-ID) at 202-224-4515 and ask for their support to move H.R. 82 to the Senate floor for a vote.
Your attendance at the rally and/or your calls to your Senators, Senate Leadership, and the Finance
can make a difference! Take the time to make these calls and tell these Senators just how important
the “Social Security Fairness Act” is to you and your family.
If you’re affected by the WEP/GPO and are tired of getting a monthly check that reduces a benefit YOU
EARNED, then make those calls! We need ALL MEMBERS to reach out to their Senators and tell them
they must support a vote on the Senate floor for H.R. 82 and to VOTE YES on the “Social Security
Fairness Act!” This effort will not succeed without YOU!
