Retain 6 Day Mail Delivery
The US Postal Service shall be required by Congress to maintain 6 Day Delivery of mail for the benefit of all Americans.
Why is this important?
PMG Donohoe wants authority from Congress to reduce days of mail delivery. He says from 6 to 5 now, but once given that authority it could be reduced to 4 or 3 days. The PMG strategy of "cut,cut,cut" is wrong and takes away an essential sevice to all Americans. The US Postal Service is in financial difficulty because of a 2006 PAEA law that mandates pre-funding retiree health benefits 75 years into future at a cost of $5 Billion a year. No other Federal agency or company suffers from this burden. The US Postal Service was created by our Constitution and serves to bind all of our citizens together nationwide. Many elderly, poor, and rural citizens depend on 6 day delivery of mail. Many mailers, such as the VA or Netflix also depend on 6 day delivery. We should require the PMG to retain 6 day delivery for the benefit of all.
