Notes Frm FOP General Meeting 20 Oct 15

ALERT…ALERT

For those of you who may want to take advantage of the premium free health care for those that are between the ages of 55yo to 59yo, you must retire by 30 JUN 2017, because if you don’t you will have to wait until you are 60yo to get premium free health care!  This benefit will end at that time.  So if you retire after 30 June 2017, you will have to wait to retire at the age of 60 if you want the premium free health care coverage till you qualify to go on Medicare at 65yo.  Remember you must submit your retirement Par Form by 31 Oct 2016 if you plan on retiring on in 2017

If you get refused for time due, make sure you keep a copy of the refused slip.  Don’t just take the book is full for that day answer.  Remember from 35 to 5 days prior to the date, spots go by seniority not who put the slip in first.  Send a copy of the refusal to the FOP so they can keep track of how time is being handled.

FOP has stated that it will challenge any promotion list that is made up of only merit candidates.  Management gets 30% of a class, not of all those promoted.

If you go to the medical section for an IOD and they are taking their time getting you treated for you injury, don’t just go to your Doctor and get treated.  If you do you may be disqualified for a reoccurrence later.  Call the FOP to help you get the treatment you need.

The FOP has submitted its brief for the tattoo case.  When a decision is rendered, they will post the results on the website.

FREE Flu shots will be provided on Monday, November 2, 2015, from 0800 - 1600 hours.  Come to the FOP Hall, 1412 W. Washington Blvd., Chicago, Illinois. FREE Flu shots to all Members, Active and Retired, and (new this year) their spouses.  You must bring your FOP ID card to get this benefit.

An open letter to Sayyed Ali Hosseini Khamenei

An open letter to Sayyed Ali Hosseini Khamenei

Hello, 

I want to say a few words about President Obama's deal with Iran's current leadership. First this is Obama's and the Democrats' deal.  It's not America's deal.  America doesn't make deals with it's enemies and make no mistake, Iran's current leadership is our enemy.  America rejects this deal.  Iran listen up and know there is no deal!  

We are not waiting for day one of a new political leader to refreeze the money that has been kept from Iran, the number one sponsor of terrorism, which has killed our soldiers, promised to destroy Israel and build nuclear weapons to attack us.  Starting Day Now, no holder of Iranian funds will release those funds!  Should they give one penny to Iran they will be frozen out of doing business with America and we will freeze their assets here in America and everywhere we have friends.  Also from Day Now, no friend will do any business with Iran.  Right now we  consider Russia and China as friends of America.  We do business with them.  We hope to continue to do business with them.  We know Russia is sending arms to Iran.  This must stop now!  

This is not just an empty threat from one American, but a promise from the American People. Listen to them.  Do not think that we just blowing a lot of hot air.  America supports this.  America will not allow Iran to become a nuclear power.  If you are listening to the President, you are not hearing the American people.  We speak to you so that the world will hear us!  Now is the time for the world to understand that we won't stand behind the Presidents words.  We Americans stand in front!  Listen to us!  We have Israel's back.  We are the land of the free and home of the brave!  God bless our troops, God bless our veterans, God bless the United States of America!
