Do AAUW members ever actually review these proposals before jumping on the liberal bandwagon?

On another note, why hasn’t AAUW lobbied to eliminate the Windfall Elimination Act and the Government Pension Offset which deprive many women of the social security payments they have earned or which they should be entitle to receive as spouses? This travesty affects primarily women teachers, by the way!
