Thanks for taking action.

Here are some ways you can spread the word to make sure Congress gets the message loud and clear.

The post office isn't broke, it's being robbed. http://bit.ly/UIaaWX @USPS #p2 #SaveUSPS via @CREDOMobile

You can also send the following e-mail to your friends and family. Spreading the word is critical, but please only pass this message along to those who know you -- spam hurts our campaign.

Thanks for all you do.

Here's a sample message to send to your friends:

Subject: The Post Office isn't broke -- it's being robbed.

Dear Friend,

The United States Postal Service has just announced that due to budget shortfalls, mail will no longer be delivered on Saturdays starting in August.

It's true the post office faces financial challenges. But the financial problems are in large part a direct result of an onerous and ill-considered 2006 law called the "Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act" (PAEA) that mandates pre-funding the postal service retiree health care and pension benefits for 75 years — something that no other government agency or private company is forced to do.

The vast majority — 85% — of the budget red ink comes from this pre-funding mandate. The PAEA was created by Republicans intent on goal: Killing a government service or the sake of proving that government can't work.

Tell Congress: Don't let Republicans kill the Post Office.
