We Support the Postal Service Protection Act

We support the Postal Service Protection Act and request our Congressman or Congresswoman co-sponsor and vote for this measure.

The Postal Service Protection Act would:
• Fix the Postal Service’s immediate financial crisis by ending the mandate that requires the USPS to pre-fund healthcare benefits for future retirees — a burden no other government agency or private company bears;

• Allow the Postal Service to recover overpayments the USPS made to federal pension plans;

• Re-establish overnight delivery standards for first-class mail, which would ensure the timely delivery of mail, help keep mail processing facilities open, and protect jobs;
• Protect six-day delivery;

• Allow the USPS to develop new products and services that would generate new sources of revenue, and

• Protect post offices by giving the Postal Regulatory Commission binding authority to prevent post offices from being closed based on the effect on the community and the effect on the employees.
