Tonight, the Senate finally corrects a fifty-year mistake by passing the Social Security Fairness Act.
Millions of retired teachers and firefighters and letter carriers and state and local workers have waited decades for this moment.
No longer will public retirees see their hard-earned Social Security benefits robbed from them, thanks to this bill.
🚨 BREAKING 🚨

It is beyond me why you will not support deserving Americans, @LeaderMcConnell! Why won't you vote for HR82? Why can't you improve lives that have been impacted by insane rules since the Reagan years? Why not change course today? Vote YES for the SOCIAL SECURITY FAIRNESS ACT!
Police officers, firefighters, and federal employees have been denied earned benefits for more than 40 years — even though they paid into the system just like others.
Now, the Senate has the opportunity to pass my #SocialSecurityFairnessAct and end this theft.
w/ @adamlongoTV:
PLS stop the nonsense @SenRandPaul! We've waited over 40 years – no more delay! Don't thwart the passage of H.R. 82.
Glad you care about our animal friends - but what about us - law enforcement, firefighters, postal workers, and educators, to name a few?

We will vote on taking up the Social Security Fairness Act to repeal flawed policies that eat away at the benefits of those who've worked as teachers, firefighters, postal workers, or public sector workers
Retirees deprived of their hard-earned benefits will be watching closely
