ALERT - JAN 19 National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association
Federal workers targeted to pay for two-thirds of the payroll tax cut holiday

Late last year, the House of Representatives proposed federal workers pay $65 billion of the cost of the payroll tax cut extension. Now this House-passed plan moves to a House and Senate conference committee to be considered yet again.

Asking just 2 percent of America's middle class to pay almost two-thirds of the cost of the payroll tax cut holiday is unacceptable and unfair. Tell Congress today that you won't stand for this egregious plan. Let your representative know how unfair this proposal is.

Tell Congress: Don't target federal workers and retirees to pay for two-thirds of the payroll tax cut holiday! You can read the full text of the letter below.

LETTER TO MEMBERS OF CONGRESS

(This text will be included in your message)

TO:
Your Senators
Your Representative

I am writing in opposition to any proposal to pay for the payroll tax holiday through cuts to federal pay and benefits. I urge you to vote against any plan that unfairly targets federal workers and retirees to pay for any payroll tax holiday deal.

Our nation's federal workers are already doing their part to address America's deficit problems -- which they did not cause -- saving the U.S. government $50 billion through a two-year pay freeze.

Millions of federal employees are at work right now, warning of impending storms, keeping our food safe and caring for our nation's veterans. Many of them have turned down better pay in the private sector for the privilege of serving their country, but they now face the possibility of deep cuts to their pay and benefits.

Like most Americans, I believe in shared sacrifice. Federal workers and retirees have sacrificed already and have done their part to help balance the budget. I don't want to see any further cuts to the pay and benefits of federal employees.

As a constituent, I urge you to oppose this attack and any others on federal workers and retirees. We Protect America's Heartbeat, and we should not be singled out unfairly to finance another payroll tax cut holiday.

Sincerely,
[Your name here]
