> As of today we have a total of 77,835 signatures on all of our petitions on signon.org. You are part of the reason this is possible. Today we want to notify everyone about the "Delivering For America Rally". The rally will be held nationwide in various cities across America. It is to preserve six day delivery of Mail in America. The mailing industry generates $1 trillion dollars of business a year and employees over 8 million people. It is approximately 8% of the gross national product. Although the post office employees only about 500,000 people and takes in only $66 billion dollars it is the catalyst for the entire industry any erosion of services by the post office would have a devasting effect on the entire economy.

> Our newest petition is set up to protest the prefunding of retiree healthcare benefits in the postal service. The post office is required by Congress to prefund 75 years of retiree healthcare benefits in a 10 year window at $5.5 billion dollars a year. They are the only business or government agency who is required to do this. All financial figures released by the postal service include this obligation by Congress in them. So the postal service financial crisis is a manufactured crisis. One manufactured by Congress.
