How can real change happen unless the big money is out of the government? That is why Obama hasn't been able to do much. All who support the rich top 1%, and are against raising taxes for the rich should be voted out. Get lobbyists out of House and Senate.

The USPS carries an extraordinary financial burden that no other government agency or company bears, the ad notes. A 2006 law, the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act, requires the Postal Service to pre-fund the healthcare benefits of future retirees.

This mandate is the reason the Postal Service is threatening to close thousands of post offices, eliminate hundreds of mail processing facilities, end Saturday mail delivery, and lay off 120,000 workers. In addition, the Postal Service is required to overpay billions more into federal accounts.
