6201 susan MontagueI feel that it's unfair that teachers should be discriminated against in 14 states.I should be allowed to receive my husband's pension when he dies. If I hadn't worked a day in my life, I would be entitled to it!!. These two benefits need to be reinstated in fairness to all teachers and all government employees.
6202 Joann K. Hayes
6203 Virginia L. MontaguePlease pass this bill. I am entitled to Social Security through my late husband and it should not be offset nor called windfall by my 31 years of work where they WOULD NOT take Social Security
6204 Patricia Sue DotsonI'm not from California, but understand that anyone can sign this petition. The situation is unfair and unjust.

6210 Tom LentThank you to the teachers and other public servants. Let's make sure they are not penalized.

6212 Robert MashLets get rid of these two unfair laws.
6213 Carolyn June PankowThe taking of fairly earned Social Security rights away from teachers amounts to nothing less than robbery of teachers at a time when we are told that in education of our youngsters lies the future of our country.
6214 June D. KoonI am a retired Federal employee, and cannot draw my full Social Security benefits nor those of my deceased husband. This is so unfair!

6220 Hope L. HeathI think that it is unfair to penalize a person who worked for the state after putting in years of social security in the private sector. It seems unfair that aliens who never have put into the system get priority over Americans who have spent years working for the return of their social security benefits
6221 Jo Ann ClarkI am retired from the State of Calif, and have 8 years as a school nurse with STRS. I retired on a medical disability. I was initially penalized 25% of my SS due to this bill. This has already cost me more than $32,000 in lost SS. I am only 68 and expect the loss to be around $100,000,000 plus interest for me personally.

6229 Gary KirbyPreventing my teacher-wife to receive survivor SS benefit upon my death is an insult to my contributions to SS. Selectively omitting my wife from that benefit should be considered as unconstitutional ly discriminating.
6230 Andres R. Rallojay IIEvery working educator and their families need to sighn this petition and press our political leaders to pass this bill.

6232 John L. HarrisIt appears that no one had any problem when I was paying into Soc. Sec and also paying into a PRIVATE retirement funds when I was working. No one stated that they would offset anything on the amount of my Soc. Sec that I was paying.
6233 Bill RagsdaleI earned a full SS pension before I was ever a teacher. Please be fair and give me what I earned
6234 Bill RagsdaleI earned a full SS pension before I was ever a teacher. Please be fair and give me what I earned
6235 Bill RagsdaleI earned a full SS pension before I was ever a teacher. Please be fair and give me what I earned
6236 sandra cole schultzI'm a widow of a firefighter.I pd fully into ssi and am now tax'd , along with my current husband, 80% of our income.
6237 Lawrence KwiatkowskiPlease recind this law. I paid into the fund for years with the promise that when I retired I'd get some back. Now I'm told, "too bad", we're breaking our promise and we're keeping your money". If you're not going to pay me as promised, please refund what I've contributed over the years.
6238 Robert G. HooperI am not a teacher, but as a retired State Employee I was denied survivors benifits when my wife died. If I was retired from a private company there would be no problem. Now that is as unfair as it gets, especially when people who have never worked under SS are getting SS benefits.

6240 Jacqueline WigleI had $500 removed from my Soc. Sec. check each month after I was given a statement saying I would get the maximum allowed when I retired for the second time at 65 in 1995. I really need that money now! Why don't we have a class action suit?

6248 Erma WrightI printed the petition, but I live in Nevada now. The petition states "We, the undersigned registered votors of California". I worked for the Dept. Of Corrections, and had money taken away from me when I retired, and also when my childrens father passed away.
6249 Annetta J StaverI'm losing $300+ dollars because of tis unfair SS offset!
6250 Roger D. StaverIt is unamerican to tax a person and then deny the benifits!!!
