TAKE ACTION ON
H.R. 2382
H.R. 2382 repeals the requirement that the U.S. Postal Service annually prepay future retirement health benefits. This long standing requirement has been a major cause of the USPS’s current financial problems. Contact our U.S. senators to urge action on H.R. 2382 to solidify the finances of the USPS so our mail and ballots are delivered on time.
