After years of hard work and advocacy by thousands of working people across the country we are closer than ever to repealing the unfair WEP/GPO that wrongfully strips millions of hard-working people across the country of the full Social Security benefit they earned and paid for, simply because they are also entitled to a public pension benefit.  

For far too long now, our country has been deeply and bitterly divided by politics. This division is not exclusive to so-called red states and blue states. It exists within our states, within our neighborhoods and our families, and indeed, within our union. On July 13th, this growing divide escalated to despicable violence through the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.  Fortunately, the assassin failed, but his horrifying attack still claimed the life of one of our fellow Americans and wounded two others.
