Stop GOP Congress' war on your Postal Service
From Grand Alliance to Save Our Public Postal Service
You're not imagining it--your mail has been delayed, and delayed again. On January 5, 2015, the U.S. Postal Service took the unwarranted step to degrade mail service standards, virtually eliminating overnight delivery of first-class mail and periodicals nationwide. In 2015, the USPS is planning to further delay America’s mail by closing or consolidating 82 mail processing plants. Some facilities have already closed and it’s having real, negative effects (http://agrandalliance.org/its-not-just-you-letters-really-are-taking-longer-to-get-delivered/ on mail delivery. Continuing their reckless plan to cut the “service” from “Postal Service” – the USPS is also attempting to eliminate Saturday mail delivery.
But there is growing bipartisan consensus for speedy mail – act today to save the public Postal Service! (http://agrandalliance.org/take-action/ Call the Capitol switchboard at 202-224-3121. Ask your U.S. Representative to support House Resolution 54 to stop delaying America’s mail and House Resolution 12 to protect six-day mail delivery. Ask your U.S. Senators to urge Postmaster General Megan Brennan to stop the planned closures and consolidations of mail processing plants. Some of these planned closures and consolidations have been postponed – but we continue to push for a moratorium!
