Report Card

NRLN Provides New “Report Card” Feature on Members of Congress

 

BACKGROUND

The NRLN Report Card is useful to our members to know as much as possible on whether their U.S. Senators and Representative are a sponsor or cosponsor of bills the NRLN supports or opposes. You are encouraged to use the Report Card to urge your Representative and Senators to cosponsor bills being advocated by the NRLN and thank them when they do. The Report Card is used during NRLN fly-ins to Washington, D.C. to show the lawmakers and/or their staff members that the NRLN is tracking their actions on bills important to retirees.

It is hoped that those whose position is unknown on a bill on the Report Card will follow the NRLN’s position if/when a vote is called on the bill.
