MONDAY, 15 NOVEMBER 2015 “Freedom Fries” and the Republican Right’s Faux Solidarity with France Joseph Palermo: They’re incapable of seeing that by politically exploiting this most recent atrocity, as they do with every other jihadist attack, to push their authoritarian and militaristic agenda they are exposing themselves as being every bit as nihilistic as the terrorists themselves.

We built our Social Security system, Wall Street billionaires have been fighting to tear it down.

		Friend, For the past 80 years, since we built our Social Security system, Wall Street billionaires have been fighting to tear it down. One of their most effective tactics has been closing offices and limiting services from the Social Security Administration, making every interaction as inconvenient as possible. But this isn’t limited to Social Security—The US Postal Service has been suffering from years of cuts, and has been forced to repeatedly consider service reductions. We must fight back. The US Postal Service—like our Social Security system—is a universal service that we all rely on. Instead of looking for ways to reduce that, we should be asking what more the Postal Service can do. One way we can protect and expand the U.S. Postal Service is by allowing them to offer more services such as postal banking.Click here to call on Postmaster General Brennan to take concrete steps toward implementing postal banking. Postal Banking is an affordable, non-profit, consumer-driven financial service for all U.S. residents including seniors living on fixed incomes, people with disabilities, veterans, and people living in rural areas. Right now, nearly 28 percent of U.S. households are underserved by traditional banks and are forced to turn to payday lenders, check cashers, and other financial predators, spending on average 10 percent of their income on fees and services. This totals $103 billion a year in lost income for American families. Our 30,000 postal branches across the country serve as a critical societal link for our underserved populations and act as a meeting place in many rural communities. In order to prevent the closing of rural post offices, protect 6-day delivery, and protect mail processing facilities across the country, it is critical that the USPS expands its current offerings.Stand with Social Security Works and our partners in calling on Postmaster General Brennan to take the necessary steps toward implementing postal banking. When we do, we’ll be expanding services for seniors and people with disabilities and strengthening the USPS for generations to come. Thank you, Michael Phelan Social Security Works
