STAND UP & FIGHT BACK FOR RETIREE HEALTHCARE

Face Book & E-Mail Friends (December 12, 2014) 

I belong to twelve (12) Face Book Groups. Their combined membership, is 17, 521 members. These sites membership consists of current  AT&T retirees and/or current ATT employees. I also have over 300 e- mail Id’s in my address book. As you all know, I have started two (2) petitions regarding AT&T dropping Medicare eligible retiree/spouse Supplemental Insurance Group Coverage effective December 31, 2014. 

My most recent petition, FIGHT-BACK AGAINST RISING HEALTHCARE COSTS AND COST-SHIFTING TO CURRENT RETIREES BY AT&T AND OTHER FORMER EMPLOYERS! Can be found on the White House “We The People” Website at: 

http://wh.gov/i1weV

Currently, this petition is the MORE important of the two, as we must obtain 100,000 signatures by January 8, 2015. (Thirty Days from The Start of The petition). If the petition meets the signature goal (100,000) within the 30 day period, the White House will respond to that petition. 

The first petition, STAND UP & FIGHT BACK FOR RETIREE HEALTHCARE was started on October 30, 2014 and must be signed and shared at: http://bit.ly/1B1gz2s 

This petition doesn’t have such severe time constrains. However, it is very important as I hope to deliver it to AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson. AT$T has over 300,000 current retirees across the country. Logic dictates, a large percentage of these retirees would sign this petition, IF they were aware of it. 

That’s where you come in. I have posted both petitions on my Face Book Groups. At the least, 17, 521 Face Book members have seen them, as well as over 300 e-mail friends. I ask that ALL 17, 521 of my fellow Face Book members and over 300 e-mail friends send these petitions to ALL of your family, friends, fellow retirees, organizations such as Pioneers, etc., etc. Use every social media tool you can. Such as, face Book, Twitter, Google#, Instagram, etc. 

Sister and Brother Retirees/Members/Face Book/E-Mail Friends, etc., The Ball Is In Your Court To Help Make These Petitions Successful!
