Ask your representative to cosponsor H. R. 1351

We respectfully request that you consider becoming a cosponsor to H.R. 1351, a bill introduced by Representative Stephen Lynch of MA. The U.S. Postal Service is currently facing a financial crisis partly due to the recession, but more significantly caused by the burdensome requirement of the 2006 Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act (PAEA) that it make payments averaging $5.5 billion dollars annually to prefund it retiree health benefits. Absent those prefunding mandates the Postal Service would actually be operating at a surplus over the last 4 fiscal years. In addition, recent independent audits have shown that the USPS has already overfunded its Civil Service Retirement Fund by over $50 billion dollars and also has overfunded the Federal Employee Retirement System by nearly $7 billion dollars. H.R. 1351 would resolve those financial inequities and bring the Postal Service into financial solvency with no use of tax payer money.
