Last night, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the omnibus spending bill, leaving intact provisions that could cut retiree pensions by as much as 60 percent. That is unconscionable. Since we started writing to you about these retiree pension cuts, you have sent more than 45,000 letters to Congress.
