I understand the Senate is presently considering taking action to stabilize the U.S. Postal Service with a short-term cash infusion while delaying most decisions on closing post offices and ending Saturday mail delivery.

I expect you recognize the real solution to this problem would be to end the ill-considered PAEA mandate that is killing the USPS. Your support of such action would gain my contuing support.

Yours truly,

With Democrats in charge of the White House and Congress, the Post Office gets fixed and restored to a solid footing. With Republicans in charge of anything, they will try to kill the Post Office. This is not rocket science. Every country in the world has postal service. Of the developed countries, only America has this problem.
