Members of the Texas Retired Teachers Association (TRTA), time is running out for the U.S. Senate to take a vote to repeal the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset (GPO)!
We must act with urgency if we want change! More pressure is needed to get the bill moving. Let’s strike while the iron is hot and keep pushing!
If you missed Tim Lee’s live update from Washington, D.C. yesterday, it’s available here.
Here’s How You Can Help!
TRTA members MUST SHARE this update with all family, friends, and fellow retirees! PLEASE CONTACT anyone you know who lives in the state of New York and have them call Senate Majority Leader Schumer.
Contacting Sen. Majority Leader Schumer
Call (202) 224-6542 and ask to speak to the staff member who works on Social Security issues. Here is a short script you may use:
- Hello, I am a member of the Texas Retired Teachers Association (TRTA). I am asking Sen. Majority Leader Schumer to please add repeal of the WEP and GPO to the Senate agenda now that H.R. 82 has passed the House of Representatives, before the end of this cycle.
- As a sponsor of repeal, and as a person who has direct influence over whether or not the repeal of WEP and GPO will win this Congress, we NEED Leader Schumer to bring this bill forward for a vote!
- Thank you for your support!
