Legislation League Legislative AgendaJoin the LEAGUE letter writing campaign!Dear Leaguers, As most of you know by now, the LEAGUE has taken the issues of Postmasters to Congress. After years of trying to work through the system, meeting and consulting with Postal Headquarters, we are seeking resolutions through Congress. Going to Congress was not an easy decision to make, but the League felt that we had exhausted every other avenue to get relief and resolution for our issues. The League’s plan is to storm Congress and the Postmaster General with as many letters from Postmasters as we could muster. Your direct participation in this effort is the key to its success! These are Postmaster and, oftentimes, supervisor issues; in fact, we have the full support of Ted Keating and NAPS and Bob Rapoza and NAPUS. This is one of those occasions where we've all got to pull together. That is why we are asking you, as concerned managers, to take part in this great letter writing effort. It is time to make big, positive changes for Postmasters and supervisors and you can help make them happen! Imagine the impact on Congress if every Postmaster and supervisor from California, Pennsylvania, Hawaii, Florida, Maine and every other state wrote to Washington. That is a voice that can't be ignored. If you've been sitting on the fence grumbling about how bad things are for you and your fellows, here is a chance for you to do something about it! Letters to be writtenBasically you will have two letters to craft; one to Postmaster General Potter and one to Congress.
Mr. John Potter Postmaster General US Postal Service RM 10022 475 L’Enfant Plaza, SW Washington DC 20260
The Honorable Joseph I. Lieberman, Chairman U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs 706 Hart Senate Building Washington D.C. 20510 The Honorable Edolphus Towns, Chairman Oversight and Gov’t Reform Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives 2232 Rayburn House Office Bldg Washington DC 20515-3210 If you feel especially motivated, you can cc any or all of the committee members listed on the website. Click To View the List You should also strongly consider mailing a letter to your own congressman. His or her address can be found right here Contact Your Representative. In your letter to this person, you might list all of the Postmaster vacancies existing in her or his district. This has to be a huge team effort. If you’ve never done anything before, now is the time to do it. Some Branches have already started their efforts. Branch boards and Legislative Committees are already motivating their members to write. They’re utilizing 3-digit meetings, their own broadcast emails, newsletters, websites and phone trees. Their spouses, many following the lead of Charlene Wendt our National Auxiliary President and her board, are writing their own letters as well. Click To View the Auxiliary PMG Letter Click To View the Auxiliary Congressional Letter Our retirees have joined the cause, and our recent retirees have much to share about why they left the service when they did. There is no such thing as writing too many letters. Every letter is very important, and we’ll be using our own product; the U.S. Mail! So that we can keep track of all of the letters sent, please send me copies. We can make a difference!
