Support the USPS!

As many of you may have read, the U.S. Post Office is planning to eliminate Saturday service as a cost-cutting measure. While this may or may not be acceptable to our pathetic excuse for a Congress, the fact is that the service has been burdened by mandated retirement pre-funding expenses since 2006, resulting in billions of dollar of losses. The USPS is the only agency (or company of any sort) that's been forced to do this, even though it takes NOT ONE DIME of taxpayer funds for operating capital.

Since none of us wants to lose our mail delivery, and considering UPS and FedEx are among the largest contributors to the congresspeople who sponsored this horrible legislation, please ask your ecig suppliers to use the mail instead of private delivery companies. Their service is better, packages arrive sooner and they have a much greater geographical reach. Try getting FedEx to deliver to most rural routes. Good luck.

According to our Postman, the reason for the cut-off for Saturday delivery is because they do not get to keep most of the money that they take in. Being a Gov agency, all money you pay for mail goes into a government budget. and they ear-mark most money for things other than the Postal Service.

This will only affect letters, and magazines .USPS will still deliver packages on Saturdays.

I'm In a rural area I receive mail that has been opened on a regular basis, complaints get no where. THE USPS here is far below par. Same with fed ex ... they just drop packages at a random house or say "unknown address" when I give specific instructions and have my house number (8 in. high numbers) on a 5 ft. tall boulder that sits at the corner of my driveway.
UPS has been rock solid for 10 yrs now. I send EVERYTHING I can through them.
