Editor’s note: This is a two part message. The first part is a Thank You from Janice Kelble, Legislative Director for the NH APWU. The second part is the full text of the flyer delivered by AWPU members at the Issa protest.



THANK YOU to all who showed up!

Thank you for the wonderful show of solidarity, it was especially heartwarming to see in February on a holiday weekend in between storms (windchill 5 degrees!!).

We saw many APWU folks, some from our neighboring states of MA, VT, RI, and ME – active & retired, NALC brothers and sisters, Mailhandlers, Carpenters, SEIU, Firefighters, UAW, AFT, NATCA, the AFL-CIO, the Alliance for Retired Americans, as well as community friends and neighbors.

They came to help us to deliver a message to Darrell Issa… Keep the Postal Service Public! We do not want to see privatized mail services and we do not want to see you interfere with our collective bargaining. Take away the Congressional noose that was tied around the neck of the Postal Service in 2006, with the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act and allow us to grow. STOP taking SERVICE out of the Postal Service!!!

Monday’s gathering was a great show of solidarity with an important message. Thank you one & all!!!
