NAPO Press Release for Social Security Fairness Act (PDF)
Dear NAPO Members,
With the House passage of H.R. 82, the Social Security Fairness Act, on Tuesday by a vote of 327-75, we now focus our efforts on the Senate to finally get this bill across the finish line.
There are 60 cosponsors in the Senate and you can find the list here, searchable by name, state, and party: https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/senate-bill/597/cosponsors?s=1&r=1&q=%7B%22search%22%3A%22s597%22%7D&pageSort=alpha (while there are 62 listed, one is former-Senator Menendez and the other is former-Senator Feinstein). We need all 60 cosponsors to be with us to overcome a threaten filibuster, so we are working to shore up the support of every one of these Senators. We are also continuing to ask Senators who have not yet cosponsored the bill to sign on in support of S. 597.
Please join our efforts and reach out to your Senators, whether they are a cosponsor or not. Attached is the contact information for the legislative directors for every Senator and those that are highlighted yellow are cosponsors. Also attached is a sample letter you can use in your outreach efforts and a one-pager on the Social Security Fairness Act. You can also find this information on our website and we have posted it on Facebook and X.
Our ask of every Senator is that they join us in supporting the Social Security Fairness Act and in asking Senate leadership to quickly schedule a vote on H.R. 82.
With your help, we can finally get this bill signed into law, but we must act now. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need more information or if there is any way I can support your outreach efforts.
Thank you!
