On this episode of the Blue View, National FOP President Patrick Yoes sits down with National FOP Chaplain Rick Snyder and Dr. Chris Holland to discuss how faith and resiliency can go hand-in-hand with a law enforcement officers overall wellness – especially at such a difficult and strenuous time for law enforcement.

Dr. Chris Holland and Rick Snyder host the Remnant Revealed podcast to help officers and their families find Biblically based solutions to the challenges they face daily.

Representatives Garret N. Graves (R-LA) and Abigail D. Spanberger (D-VA) are united in an effort to use a House procedure known as a discharge petition to force a vote on H.R. 82, the “Social Security Fairness Act.” A discharge petition is a legislative mechanism to move legislation directly to the floor provided the petition—an actual document–is physically signed by 218 Members of the House. Members can begin signing this petition on 10 September—one day after the House returns to session.

Equality and fairness are some of America’s most cherished ideals. In current Social Security law, over 2.5 million retired first responders, teachers, and other government employees are financially penalized by provisions of the law, the Windfall Elimination Provision and the Government Pension Offset, that slash their benefits solely because they spent part of their careers in jobs that don’t pay into Social Security.

On this episode of the Blue View Podcast, National FOP President Patrick Yoes sits down with Representative ‪@RepSpanberger, who currently represents Virginia’s 7th Congressional district.

A former law enforcement officer herself, Representative Spanberger is the lead Democratic sponsor of H.R. 82, the “Social Security Fairness Act.” The Social Security Fairness Act, which is one of the most bipartisan and broadly supported pieces of legislation in the House, would fully repeal both the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and the Government Pension Offset (GPO) in current Social Security law. The bill, which currently has over 320 cosponsors, is a top priority of the FOP. The House sponsors of the Social Security Fairness Act, Representative Spanberger as well as the lead Republican on the bill, Garret N. Graves (R-LA), are united in an effort to use a House procedure known as a discharge petition to force a vote on H.R. 82. A discharge petition is a legislative mechanism to move legislation directly to the floor provided the petition—an actual document—is physically signed by 218 Members of the House.
