Please support H. Res. 173

Sign the Petition : 957 Letters and Emails Sent So Far

Please Support H. Res. 173 to continue 6 day mail delivery by the USPS.

6-day mail delivery service is an essential service that the American people have relied on since 1912, particularly working families that depend on the Postal Service for the timely delivery of their paychecks;

Social Security is the primary or sole source of income for many senior citizens, and any delay in the delivery of their Social Security checks would make it difficult for them to purchase even essential items, such as food and medicine.

Reducing mail delivery service to 5 days a week would inevitably cause not only delays in the delivery of mail, but higher postal costs, due to the many hours of additional overtime that the Postal Service would require in order to handle the resulting back-up of mail.

People depend on regular mail delivery and ordinary postal customers and businesses would be greatly inconvenienced by missing a day of mail delivery. Losing one day of delivery would stretch to 3 days when the additional day is combined with Sunday and a Monday holiday. Delays like this could essentially drive mail to private carriers who might deliver 6 days a week.

    I believe it will cost the postal service more money. The employees who are at higher wages will have their routes crunched into 5 days causing longer routes and more pay to the long term employees. Mail volums are rising. Economy is picking up. Lets have higher management cut travel expenses, lets have Potter not except bonus money and let us not have extravigant get togethers that cost the postal system. Let us all cut down on lights and waste and come together to make our postal service strong again.
