Stand With Postal Workers This Thursday in a National Day of Action -- by Jim Hightower

You can buy rolls of "Forever" stamps from your local post office, protecting you from future price increases...But We The People need to put a "Forever" stamp on the Post Office itself.
A cabal of corporate predators, congressional anti-government ideologues, and pussillanimous postal officials are dismantling this invaluable public service, piece by piece -- an agency that has literally delivered for America since the very start of our country.
Yet, in the name of "saving" the US Postal Service, they've been gutting it's services, intentionally driving away business.
Having fewer customers will give the cabal an excuse to make more cuts...and ultimately to kill it as a public entity.
This is like a boss telling workers: "The beatings will continue until morale improves."
Post office workers, letter carriers, and mail handlers are tired of the beatings, so they've launched a nationwide campaign with dozens of other grassroots organizations to rally public support to Save Our Public Postal Service by revitalizing and expanding the services that this venerable American institution can and should provide.
Under the uplifting banner of "I Stand with Postal Workers," the American Postal Workers Union is coordinating a National Day of Action this Thursday, May 14.
Some 70 public demonstrations and rallies will take place Thursday at post offices in 30 states -- from Alaska to Florida, Maine to California.
