A small suggestion for all Bernie supporters

Remind your mail person, when you see her/him
that Bernie has been fighting for the post office
for a long time. I know that this is not a group
of millions, but in my opinion every vote has to
be courted, because of the party's reluctance
to even acknowledge him.

2. K & R. Great idea. I value and respect the USPS and workers and want to seen them remain.

It's one of our greatest institutions as the founders knew to encourage an informed populace through information and knowledge. Bernie has been a wonderful leader in supporting the USPS for a long time.

I have a great relationship with my mailman...I'll catch him and see if he knows about Bernie...he's really busy (and tired) with work and 2 small children, so is probably not that engaged this early.

Excellent idea.

I rarely see my mail lady, since our line of rural boxes is a mile and half or so away from my house. I could put a bumper sticker on the wooden structure we attach our mail boxes to...legal?

Here in New York, when we do lit drops for candidates, we can tuck palm cards behind the mail box, under the little red flag thing, in the newspaper box if there is one. It's only illegal to put something inside.

What I can tell you is what I heard him say several
times over the last 3 years on the Thom H. show.
He talked about a proposal he made to modernize
the USPO and to remove the congressional
decision for that office to pay huge amounts into
a fund for the insurance of future employees.
