Save the Post Office! Work to Repeal the 2006 Law that Forces the Post Office to Pre-Fund 75 years of Pension Benefits.

Save the Post Office by replacing the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act with common-sense legislation!
“In 2006, the Republican-led Congress passed an unnecessary law requiring the United States Postal Service to pre-fund its pension benefits for 75 years through a $5.5 billion annual payment. The Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act of 2006 (PAEA) is the only one of its kind for a government agency...The requirement has drastically harmed the functions of the agency, which is used by almost every American...Without the pension payment, USPS would have a $1.5 billion surplus instead of a $20 billion shortfall...” (Ben Sherman, ThinkProgress.com July 19, 2012)
