Tell Congress: Save the America's Post Office

The Postmaster General wants to close over 200 mail processing centers + over 3,000 post offices. And laying off 220,000 workers. In this economy, that's the last thing we need. It's true the USPS faces financial challenges. But this problems is a large part to the onerous and ill-considered 2006 law that mandates the USPS to pre-fund its retiree health care and pension benefits for 75 years, NO other gov. agency or private company is forced to do. Which is over-funded and reserves for retiree health care are far higher than the federal gov. and military. Simply modifying this 2006 mandate would provide considerable breathing room. And while some changes are certainly necessary to preserve and improve it in the 21st Century, now's not the time to close post offices and cut 1000's of jobs.
