Social Security Fairness
Supporting and connecting groups and individuals across the country who are working to repeal the WEP and GPO
A Voice For Change!
Who We Are:
An all-volunteer group of public service employees, both active and retired, started in the San Francisco Bay Area dedicated to the goal of repeal of the GPO and WEP. We began in March 2009 and have grown steadily over the year. The organization began as a group of educators but welcomes other groups and individuals. The group is now actively seeking cross links with other web sites. Contact us at ssf.website.chair@gmail.com.
Our Goal:
Pass bills in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, S 484 and HR 235, to repeal the WEP and the GPO by the end of 2010.
To do this we must educate and energize retired and active public employees and their friends in every state.
