If you worked 40+ hrs/wk, like our grocery store workers, truck drivers, coal miners, & many more, you expect the hard-earned money you paid into your pension plan will be there years later. But for 1.3M American retirees, it won't be.

And that's the problem -- while many BIG Wall Street banks escaped unharmed, hard-working Americans were left to pick up the pieces after their savings dwindled. Today, @WaysMeansCmte is advancing the #ButchLewisAct, which would help protect millions of Americans' pension plans.

Millions of hard-working American retirees are at risk of being thrown into poverty if Congress doesn’t act to save their pensions – a source of income that helps pay their mortgage, put food on the kitchen table & other basic needs -- that's why we must pass the #ButchLewisAct!
