The congressional Republicans and U.S. Postal Service (USPS) executives who’ve been trying to gut the Postal Service and denigrating the work of the men and women who keep the mail moving ought to take a listen to the American public. A recent Gallup Poll found that Americans rate the Postal Service highest among 13 government agencies.
The most surprising finding is that young people had the highest praise, with 81% of 18- to 29-year olds giving the USPS “excellent or good” marks. Postal Workers (APWU) President Mark Dimondstein said:
Pundits have convinced many people that the future of the Postal Service is bleak because young people consider it irrelevant, but this poll shows the opposite is true.

Overall the Postal Service scored a 72% excellent or good rating. Dimondstein said:
The USPS won high marks, despite efforts by the postmaster general and Board of Governors to dismantle it, degrade service standards, close mail processing plants and, despite ongoing threats, to end Saturday mail delivery.

having a crystal ball! 
These three individuals epitomize the values of what the government agency is suppose to do.
They all know and have publicly said what a government is suppose to do for the workers who are also tax payers and the postal system from Sanders and Warren and to our social services, on which people depend on to operate and function with our Constitution and the small d democracy for transparency.
The first order of business for Congress, is for the Democrats and the Democratic leadership to TRY and bring forth a bill to rescind the voice vote that was implemented under the ( Hassert / Delay ) Corrupt Congress in 2006 to attack the Postal Union and force it to pay 5 billion a year in retirement benefits for 12 years or 75 Billion into the future, (corporations do not have to do this), which is bankrupting the system and in which they wanted to privatize for greed to have Staples as place to drop off mail to non-federal workers to throw our mail into a bag, in a not secure area, but they the Post Master General and the right wing republicans say it will be secure and it lower costs ----right.
The agency is in the Constitution from which to operate under and exist, it is NOT suppose to be privatized for greed.
The Postal system is a self entity outside the government that does not use tax payers taxes to operate under, and prior to the voice vote had net profit.
So we as citizens of this country need to voice our opposition to the Staples or any other for-profit corporate plan and the elimination of Saturday delivery.
