From Vicki Cole Thompson Vicki Cole Thompson Repeal WEP/GPO (Windfall Elimination Provision/Government Pension Offset). This is so unfair.I wil tell you what Social Security told me when I went to apply for widows benefits Most people are not aware of this law until they retire or their spouse passes away. So in other words you get $0 or next to nothing. If you get next to nothing meaning you will be taxed on that money and get nothing. EVERYONE needs to contact their senators and congressman and then Mr. Obama and remind him of his promise to push for this repeal during his campaign. You can do this online, write him walk into their office. Research this on ssfairness. Sign petitions at Petitions.moveon.org and Petition2Congress. You can also write Mr. Obama online at these sites. This is not an entitlement it is money you or your spouse worked hard for and sacraficed time with their families so that we could be afforded a comfortable retirement yet we are not benefiting from our money. They are using our money to provide free food, shelter, health care, money, oh an lets not forget phones to people who could but would not work like we did. There are many people suffering by this law right now and many many more to come. These people are having to make a choice between shelter, heat, air conditioning, medicines, food and many more of lifes necessities. They worked hard all their life and they are rewarded by WEP/GPO . We are the people who have kept this country going and by doing that we have taught our children to do the same. Check the facebook page Social Security Fairness-Repeal the GPO/WEP page out. There you will find other sites to voice your opinion on. We must come together as a team to get this repealed. It needs to be repealed now or it will hurt many more hard working Americans.Please share this with friends and family and encourage them to contact the appropriate persons and let them know how unfair it is. Lets not put our children in the place they have to worry about us financial when they are trying to take care of their families. My husband passed 03/22/14 and I know he never dreamed that my household income would be cut by more than 1/2 monthly because of this. Before you vote your senators and congressmen and of course the president of the United States make sure you know where they stand on this issue. I dont know about you but I need my money just because my husband passed none of my bills stopped. As a matter of fact they increased with inflation, we have our own bills plus maintenance on our homes that have to be paid for. Dont let this government steal our money and put us in poverty. This is outrageous. Thank each and everyone of you for reading. Now lets get some leaders in office and get the work done. God bless you.
