I am writing in support of the postal workers of America.
The U.S. Postal Service was established before 1776 as a self-sustaining agency and has remained as such. It is the only agency that has been required to fund pensions 75 years in advance through the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act of 2006.
This is what will bankrupt the Postal Service, not the Internet. This financial burden is unreasonable. This bill should be repealed. I urge readers to contact their representatives in Washington and save this valuable service.
