Do your part ... Help save the USPS ... Post Cards to the WhiteHouse PLUS

Make banks and corporations contribute.

How you ask??? And why.

First of all, the PO makes the most money on first class mail and the like. Packages, not so much. They keep the price of packages low to compete with FedEx and UPS. and end up paying in the long run.
When UPS or FedEx has a package going to Boondocks, South Dakota they do not want to pay fuel and wages not to mention time lost, to get the 10 dollar package to Joe Deplorable. So they charge the person shipping $9.00. The send it to the nearest big distribution center, got to the PO and pay $7.95 to have them drive it 100 miles to it's destination. The USPS makes a pittance while the "Big Shippers" have a nice skim.

So it is important to send a ton of first class items to where ever.
Personally I just bought a shit-load of postcards and will mail 1 a day every day until I run out ... and then buy some more.
A post card from the USPS is 39 cents.
You can also sent cards and letters to friends ... It's always nice to get something in the mail besides a mailer.
Speaking of which

You get the banks and corporations to contribute also. Before the advent of the intertubes, people received a monthly bill/statement/invoice etc every month. We have now learned how to do it all "paperless"
Log in to your account for all the info you need.
Think out how much money those pig fucks have made by having us go paperless. Do you think they really care about the environment???? NO ... they just made a small fortune by cutting expenses ... no mailing statements, no paying the USPS.

I have withdrawn for paperless statements but still make payments electronically.

Here is my postcard for today which I will pop into a mailbox after I post this


Remember if you send a card to 1600 Pennsylvinia Av. NW Washington, DC 20500

Do not write anything that could have the SS (Secret Service) knocking at your door.
I am going to assume that there is a difference in stating "I am going to fuck you up" as opposed to "Go fuck your self."

They have to log it as a liability and not touch the money.

But when you USE a stamp, that becomes earned income and they can pull that money out of the liability reserve.

Best thing you can do is to USE old stamps.

Second best is to buy and use NEW stamps.

Way down the list is buying stamps and sitting on them. Very little of that becomes usable cash.
