Save the Post Office: Extend the moratorium on closing post offices

The Issue

The Postal Service has targeted 4,500 post offices for closure and 230 processing plants for consolidation.   The Postmaster General says he plans to  close half of the country's 32,000 post offices over the next few years.  

The closings and consolidations won't save the Postal Service — they'll destroy it.  Tell Congress and the President to extend the moratorium on closings beyond May 15, while the country has a more thoughtful discussion about the future of the Postal Service.
