MODERATE INTERVENTION CLASSES AT OUR SITES.

AND TEACHERS SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO TEACH ELECTIVES.
GALGANO: I DID A QUICK REVIEW OF TEACHERS PRIOR TO THIS MEETING AND
ONLY ONE OF THE NEW TEACHERS TO OUR SITE HAVE TAKN THE HIGH POINT,
PRENTICE HALL OR AB472 MATH TRAINING SO THIS WILL FURTHER LIMIT WHO
WILL BE TEACHING THESE CLASSES IF THEY BECOME REQUIRED.

Subject: Social Security Fairness Act
Hello everyone,
DO THIS NOW !!!! It took me less than 3 minutes to do this.
Take action now as it may impact you for the rest of your life.
Help yourself, and thousands of other CA educators, receive the social
security benefits we are entitled just as educators in others states
are. Currently you are denied of this benefit because of federal law
that negatively impact California's educators:
Help pass The Social Security Fairness Act H.R.235 which was
reintroduced in the House two weeks ago. (We have less than a 10-day
window) This new bill will repeal the two unjust federal bills: WEP
and GPO
-The Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP): Reduces or eliminates your
EARNED Social Security from other employments (summer work, concurrent
employment, etc)
-The Government Pension Offset (GPO): Basically eliminates an
educator's Social Security benefits from a deceased spouse. If you
outlive your spouse who paid into social security all his/her working
life you will not receive his/her benefits as do others in any other
profession.
Two ways you can be heard: by phone or online:
1) Online: http://capwiz.com/nea/issues/alert/?alertid=12398176
<http://capwiz.com/nea/issues/alert/?alertid=12398176>
Then go to letter "e"
If the link above does not work:
a. Go to www.nea.org/lac
b. Click on "Legislative Action Center"
c. Scroll down and click on "social security offsets"
d. Click on "electronic petition" (under the "NEA Supports This
Proposal" paragraph)
e. Enter your zip code, near the bottom of the rectangle, where it
says, "Take action now"
f. Sign your name to the letter and then add sender information
requested underneath.
If you wish to write even more, continue and click on "Social Security
Fairness Act". You will have the opportunity to cut and paste and/or
write more, and send it off to more representatives.
2. By phone: Make a phone call to one of the local congressional
offices listed below and ask them to forward your message to repeal the
SS Offset Bill by cosponsoring the new bill, HR 235.
Pete Stark: 510-494-1388
Ellen Tauscher 925-932-8899
Mike Honda 408-558-8085
Zoe Lofgren 408-271-8700
Jerry McNerney 925-737-0727
Nancy Pelosi 415-556-4862
Anna Eshoo 650-323-2984
Jackie Spier 650-323-2984
Barbara Lee 510-763-0370
YOU can get our elected representatives working for us. There are only
14 states in the U.S. that have these unjust laws in action --- laws
that actually cheat California educators out of what they are entitled
to.
