Public servants like teachers and first responders are being penalized by the current laws (WEP and GPO). The Social Security Fairness Act would restore earned benefits to public servants. Senate needs to act before Dec 31!
Bring the Social Security Fairness Act before the U.S. Senate for a vote!

“I’m 83. When I picked up McDonald’s today, a lady with a Trump sticker couldn’t stop blaring her horn!

Then I pulled up, took my food and hers too. Now she has to go to the start of the line.

Don’t mess with old folks.”
