Do you see your U.S. Representative listed as a cosponsor to eliminate the GPO/WEP?

From John Curry, February 08, 2010

The last email listed U.S. House members who were listed as sponsors and cosponsors of a bill (HR 235) to eliminate the GPO/WEP penalty against public servants in states who have state retirement systems. Well...here is HR 235's companion bill in the U.S. Senate (S484) and a listing of the sponsor and cosponsors of this bill to enable fairness to public service retirees. If your Senator (like Geogre Voinovich) is not listed, you might want to write them and ask why not! I'm sure George just forgot about you by accident...didn't he?

If not, you might want to ask them why they didn't lend their name to this list and go to bat for you and public servants in the states who have state retirement systems for public service employees! 314 Reps. did have the courage to cosponsor this bill...for that, they are to be commended. This listing is a bi-partisan listing as members from both sides of the aisle are on it.

John

P.S. Keep in mind that the current state of the economy will stall this bill until the economy gets "straightened out," but that is no reason that your Rep. can't be listed as a co-sponsor, is it? Why don't you write them and ask them....and then get ready for a real "song and dance" form letter. Ohio's Reps. are listed in red font below.
