NARFE 2247 NEWS #34

Lorraine (Rainey) Savage (NARFE member of 2247) sent the following message out to people in her address book.

Rainey took the extra step because not only Federal Employees and Retirees are the target of these cuts ,but the general public will suffer in the end as well and need to be alerted to these in justices.

This is the actual message sent by Lorraine Savage;

FYI - We (Rainey) signed and sent out to the President and all Representatives considering further drastic cuts aimed at all Federal Retirement Pay, Active Duty Pay and Health Benefits - if we don't speak up, we won't be heard. Only 7,163 national federal employees have responded.

Are you kidding me? These cuts affects all current active duty and retired federal employee members and surviving spousal and dependent children pay and health benefits. Don't be afraid to stand up and be counted. This is not limited to Florida, this is NATIONAL.

If you are not a member of your local NARFE (National Active and Retired Employee), don't be afraid to sign it anyway, you are or have been an active member of the Federal Work Force. You are or will be affected by Federal budget balancing cuts. You may have children who work for or have worked for the Federal Government. Let them know, send it out to your friends and family who you know are members of the Federal Work Force and/or have an interest in this.

Federal worker retirement system under attack!

Federal employees ensure our food is safe and our air is healthy. Some spend their days fighting the spread of infectious disease, while others raise the alarm whenever a storm is coming.

We depend on federal workers in all 50 states to keep America strong. And they've already sacrificed pay and benefits to help solve our nation's budget woes, even though they didn't cause our economic crisis.

Yet according to recent reports, the federal worker retirement system “has emerged as a key target” in negotiations about our national debt. It's not right – and we need to speak out now.

Tell Washington: Federal workers Protect America's Heartbeat. Reject additional cuts to their pay and benefits.
