.: Social Security Offsets: Cosponsors continue to climb
The Social Security Fairness Act (H.R 235/S.484), which would repeal the unfair Government Pension Offset and Windfall Elimination Provision, now boasts 307 cosponsors in the House and 29 in the Senate. See if your Senators and Representative have cosponsored this important bill.
Despite this overwhelming support, Congress has not moved the bill forward for debate and vote.
Tell Congress: The busy legislative agenda is no excuse! Pass the Social Security Fairness Act.

Ask for the office of your Representative and/or Senator. When you are connected, they may verify that you're a constituent.
Ask what your Representative's position is on The Social Security Fairness Act (H.R. 235), encourage them to vote yes and tell them you want them to take the necessary steps to get the bill on to the floor for debate and vote.
Ask what your Senator's position is on The Social Security Fairness Act (S. 484), encourage them to vote yes and tell them you want them to take the necessary steps to get the bill on to the floor for debate and vote.
Make those contacts, though, and also write Letters to the Editors of your newspapers. That's how this inequity can get moved forward.
