Jim, thank you for this notice. As far as getting Mr. Jordan, Mr. Boehner, and Mr. Chabot to go along with this..well, that will be a VERY difficult concept for them to understand. With enough "political pressure" on them (via snail mail and email) just maybe they could be persuaded! Maybe last Nov. 7th sent a chill up and down their spines. I will pass this on to the troops!

Jordan, Boehner, and Chabot now (for a change) find themselves in the minority and have a difficult time accepting anything that will benefit the cause of the common public employee as they are pro-privatization and pro-Administration. Maybe now we can move them out of fear of losing their office next time 'round! Let's hope! We are in a time frame that is the most promising for repeal of the GPO/WEP that we've seen in over a decade.

John

John –

Pasted below is a clipping from the most recent OEA Legislative Update that should be of interest to your readers. The OEA web page with talking points and auto-email to Senators and Representatives is http://ga1.org/campaign/socialsecurityoffset . The petition that is mentioned in this release, and that has a link on the above-mentioned web page, is not available at this writing. I’ve requested a copy from OEA Government Services and will send it your way when I receive it.
