The Postal Service's unmatched ability to reach every household and business in America six days a week is a vital part of the nation's infrastructure.

The Postal Service delivers mail six days a week to nearly 140 million addresses. Every year this number increases by 2 million.

The federal government spends millions to run the Postal Service. I could lose your mail for half of that.

The United States Postal Service has a problem. People aren't sending as much mail as they used to. That means less postage revenue and difficulty paying the bills.

In an urban area, you're not going to be an hour away from another post office.

Direct mail was the basis of a lot of new Right organizations in the '70s and early '80s, and it actually led to the downfall of the majority of them. It's very expensive, and you end up putting your organization more and more in debt if you're not successful with it.

My heart goes out to a missionary who does not receive regular mail from home. Generally, a letter once a week is a good rule. But on the other hand, too much mail can be damaging to a missionary's morale.

I refuse to this day to do e-mail because everybody I know that does it, it takes another two or three hours a day. I don't want to give two or three more hours away.

At a time when the Post Office is losing substantial revenue from the instantaneous flow of information by email and on the Internet, slowing mail service is a recipe for disaster.
