Repel The Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act of 2006(HR 6407), and save our USPS.
Why is this important?
The US Postal Service employs over a 500,000 Americans and has the ability to reach places that privatized companies can not. The United State's Constitution explicitly authorizes it's existence, yet Republican legislation from 2006 seeks to destroy this American institution. The Postal A&E Act requires the USPS to prefund 75-years' worth of future health care benefit payments to retirees. This Act is unconstitutional, in my opinion, and is a disgrace. Under these harsh regulations, no business can survive. The USPS has not received taxpayer funds in nearly 30 years, unlike the banking system. The USPS does not need our money, just our support.
