Thanks for supporting Trump'snominatees! Please support Veterans who are affected by WEP/GPO. Please vote no to amendments on HR. 82 SOCIAL Security Fairness Act. Please vote Yes for HR.82. Allow 2.5 million retired people to get their full retirement income they paid into Social Security.

Please support Ted Cruz's amendment to HR 82. The proportional approach is the only fair way to eliminate WEP and GPO. If the Cruz amendment fails, please vote NO on HR 82. Don't align yourself with big government labor unions, the NEA, and other liberal organizations. This is anything but fair as it gives extra Windfall Benefits to some people who had significant income exempted by Social Security--benefits that won't be available to those who have paid into Social Security all of their careers. Without WEP, the Social Security benefit calculation treats these individuals as lower wage earners than what they actually are, and it gives them a higher income replacement percentage than would be received by a person of the same total income who paid into Social Security on all their income. GPO brings parity to spouses who must give up 100% of their benefit in order to collect spousal or survivor benefits. If WEP and GPO are eliminated, we may see Social Security bankrupted early as public employers change their retirement plans back to being noncovered so that their employees can take advantage of the new windfall. Also, these employers will recognize the value of these plans to lure employees from the private sector that can't compete with these benefits. Although the CBO has said eliminating WEP and GPO will cost $196 Billion over the next 10 years, they said this figure assumes the number of people in retirement plans exempt from Social Security will continue its current declining trend. But, without WEP and GPO this decline will halt, and soon most public employees will again be on these plans. This is clearly the wrong move for a program struggling to remain solvent! Thank you for your consideration.

THANK YOU TO THESE 73 SENATORS WHO VOTED "YES" TO CLOTURE ON HR82 AND SUPPORTED THE NATION'S TEACHERS, POLICE OFFICERS, AND FIREFIGHTERS ... LET'S ENCOURAGE THEM TO ALSO VOTE "YES" TO PASS THE BILL ITSELF AND "PASS THE SOCIAL SECURITY FAIRNESS ACT"! My wife and I, both lifelong Missourians who have paid into Social Security for 45 years, appreciate Senator Josh Hawley and Senator Eric Schmitt for their votes on this! We urge them to VOTE YES TO THE SOCIAL SECURITY FAIRNESS ACT! Missourians deserve to not be penalized for spending a part of their career in public service.
