Historic Day!
The repeal of the unfair provisions of WEP and GPO that rob teachers, police, firefighters, and public employee retirees of their Social Security benefits just took a giant step forward. This morning 291 Congress members have now signed on as co-sponsors of HR 82. Congressman Rodney Davis and Congressman Garrett Graves walked down a written request to the Clerk and filed to have HR 82 heard on the floor and voted on in Congress. The rules mandate a floor vote on any bill that has received 290 co-sponsors.
This will be the first time in history that a floor vote has been taken on any bill to repeal or modify WEP/GPO. The vote will likely be in September. Stay tuned.
Representative Mike Johnson reported we have reached 291 cosponsors and will have a vote in September. Now we need to get 20 more Senators to cosponsor S.1302 let's do this!
