S.1789 Workers' Compensation Reform Act of 2011
I am writing as your constituent in the 29th Congressional district of New York. I support S.1789 - Workers' Compensation Reform Act of 2011, and am tracking it using Open Congress.org, the free public resource website for government transparency and accountability.
As one who was required to become a window clerk after 27 years, I was one of the lucky ones, other clerks , not in good health were required to become Carriers in their late Forties and late Fifties, a disaster, many of us want to leave, but for the penalties under FERS, if one has the age but not the years, the working conditions are deplorable, we need your help, now.


Sincerely,
robert DeMarco

Note to Congressional staff & elected officials reading this: this letter was sent through Contact-Congress features on OpenCongress.org, a free public resource website, but in the future we seek to compel the U.S. Congress to adopt fully open technology for constituent communications. For more information how your office can better handle public feedback through an open API and open standards, contact us -- even today, there are significantly more efficient and responsive ways for our elected officials to receive email feedback than the status quo of individual webforms. For greater public accountability in government, we must make the process of writing one's members of Congress more accessible and empowering. Looking ahead, we will release more data from Contact-Congress letters and Congressional response rates back into the public commons. This will result in a new open data source on bills & issues people care about, as well as encourage best practices in constituent communications and make it possible to grade members of Congress on their responsiveness & citizen satisfaction.
