It's the end of mail delivery to your door.

  Stop HR 2309

You read that right. A proposal in Congress would end door-to-door mailbox delivery service for 90 percent of American households and businesses that now receive it.

H.R. 2309, a bill that is headed for a vote in the full House of Representatives, calls for the dismantling of the U.S. Postal Service, one of America’s oldest and most beloved institutions that has served the nation for more than 235 years as provided by the U.S. Constitution.

If enacted, H.R. 2309 would:

X End Saturday mail delivery service, hurting small businesses, rural customers, the elderly and those who rely on the mail for medicine delivery.
X Radically downsize the USPS, destroying 200,000 jobs and threatening the centerpiece of a $1.3 trillion mailing industry that employs 7.5 million private-sector workers.
X Force the closure of thousands of post offices, eliminating the heart of many American communities and slowing mail service.
X Fail to address the true cause of the Postal Service’s financial woes—the 2006 Congressional mandate to pre-fund future retiree health benefits, a burden faced by no other agency or firm.

Tell Congress not to destroy the USPS.
Contact your representative and ask him or her to
vote against H.R. 2309.

Please call NOW to save America’s Postal Service.
