And now a word from our Region I, National Field Vice President, Augie Stratoti.

On September 24, Sen. Lieberman cosponsored a NARFE priority bill.  If you send a prompt message of appreciation, Sen. Lieberman will certainly note that you are paying close attention.  Saying thank you is a nearly lost common courtesy and consequently greatly appreciated.

Sen. Lieberman was made the 50^th cosponsor of NARFE priority legislation called Premium Conversion.  This legislation, S. 773 sponsored by Sen. John Warner, would allow civilian and military retirees to pay certain health care premiums on a pre-tax basis.

 

Use any of three paths to say thanks: 1) the NARFE sponsored toll free number for the Capitol switchboard, 1-866-220-0044 (ask for your Member by name), 2) the NARFE Legislative Action Center, http://capwiz.com/narfe/dbq/officials/ , or 3) the Senate gateway to individual Members’ “web forms” (www.senate.gov) or http://lieberman.senate.gov/contact/ .

 

If you phone, e-mail or write Sen. Lieberman, please let us know using cfarrell@narfe.org and place “Lieberman” in Subject

Chris,

I thought you might like to know that Senator Dodd has signed on as a cosponsor of S. 773, Senator Warner’s legislation to allow federal civilian retirees and active duty and retired military personnel to pay certain health care costs on a pretax basis.
