To Postal Workers, No Mail Is ‘Junk’

Charge the junk mailers a higher postage rate - NOT first class mailers. It'll either reduce the amount of junk mail (esp. hopefully the remailings of the same catalogs over and over again) and/or make the USPS a money-maker.

Politicians know what is good for them, votes. There are simply too many postal workers and they may lost their votes.

Another thing that politicians are scared about is the impact on political direct mail. They passed the do not call list, but exempted themselves from the list. So now we all have robo calls.

It is too bad that politicians continue to exempt themselves from Do Not Call law.

StopPoliticalCalls.org is fighting for the privacy of the American voter.

1 - Creating a Political Do Not Call Registry
2 - Testifying in the US Senate about robo calls (Sen. Feinstein???s Robocall Privacy Act)
3 - Forcing states to enforce existing robo call laws (CA, MN, NJ, etc..)
4 - Getting politicians to take a do not robo call pledge (7 have)

As I testified at the US. Senate these robo calls are an epidemic and this election cycle ???phone spam??? and are invading the privacy of All American Voters.

Our members are taking a stand and saying enough is enough at the National Political Do Not Contact Registry at StopPoliticalCalls.org.

Here is a quote from a member recently:

"I'm a shift worker, working variable shifts. I depend on my sleep to be able to do my job safely and efficiently. I'm a locomotive engineer. Imagine the disaster were I to fall asleep, operating a freight train carrying hazardous materials in your neighborhood, due to fatigue from being awoken in my middle of the night on a continuous basis during election season. Please stop.."

Mail has value beyond creating jobs for postal workers. It is an economic engine in its own right, powering some $1.2 trillion in economic activity, according to a 2008 study (www.emafoundation.org). However, the emergence of GreenDimes and others highlights a critical point for the mailing industry, which is that it must do a better job of targeting mail to recipients who will truly value its contents. That will not only cut costs for direct marketers, but also reduce public concerns about the environmental impact of mail.
