Support your Postal Service. Your most reliable and affordable form of delivery since 1775!!!!
Contact your Legislator and urge them to oppose "H.R. 2309, the Postal Reform Act of 2011".
If enacted into law H.R. 2309 would mandate closing enough post offices and sorting facilities to wring $2 billion dollars in savings from the mail system over the next two years. Service to small towns and rural postal customers would be devastated.
The bill would also establish a "Solvency Authority" with the power to unilaterally cut wages and benefits.
This bill would do nothing to correct the cause of the Postal Service's economic difficulties: It would do nothing about the billions of dollars in USPS overpayments to it's pension accounts, and it would do nothing to correct the congressional mandate that requires the USPS to pre-fund healthcare benefits of future retirees. (No other government agency or private company bears this burden, which costs the Postal Service more than $5 billion annually.) If passed, H.R. 2309 would lead to the end of the Postal Service as we know it, and it would have a devastating impact on the American economy.
I urge you to SUPPORT H.R. 1351, which would allow the USPS to use billions of dollars in pension overpayments to meet it's financial obligations. H.R. would address the cause of the USPS financial crisis without slashing service or hurting workers. THANK YOU!!!
