Ask Congress to Stop Postage Hikes

Dear ACMA member or friend of the ACMA:

Please play an important role by urging key Congressional committee members to intervene and stop Postmaster Louis DeJoy from continuing these punishing twice-a-year postal rate hikes. The July 9th increase was the third in the past 12 months.

The action we’re asking of you is fairly simple and easy, but requires two key steps:

  1. The ACMA is a flagship member of the Keep Us Posted campaign, headed by former Kansas Congressman Kevin Yoder. Just use this platform to ask Congress to stop these rate hikes.
  2. We have hand-selected you (and likely, a colleague or two from your company whom we also know) because your headquarters, your other facilities, or clusters of your employees are in districts of Congressional members who serve on the House Oversight Committee, the key committee that oversees the USPS. Please see the list below and use the Keep Us Posted letter as a template to write the appropriate representative separately from item 1 above. Send your letter by email to the contact listed below each Congressional member.

House Oversight Committee here:
• Rep. James Comer (R-KY) – Chairman Contact: Legislative Director – Sarah Coffman sarah.coffman@mail.house.gov
• Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) – Ranking Member Contact: Legislative Director – Diane Adamson diane.adamson@mail.house.gov

• Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA) Contact: Legislative Director – Max Ernst max.ernst@mail.house.gov
• Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) Contact: Legislative Director – Sameer Jaywant sameer.jaywant@mail.house.gov
• Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D-CA) Contact: Legislative Director – Ben Kane ben.kane@mail.house.gov
• Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM) Contact: Legislative Director – Ian Fluellen ian.fluellen@mail.house.gov

Klobuchar Criticizes New USPS Sacking Policy For Publishers (mediapost.com)

Publishers who still mail print editions to subscribers are facing challenges on at least a couple of fronts. For one, new statistics released by the U.S Postal Service show that 86.1% of Periodicals were delivered on time against the USPS service standard in Q4, a decrease of 2.8% from the prior quarter. In contrast, 91.4% of first class mail was delivered on time, a 1.2% decrease, and marketing mail held steady with a 95.2% on-time delivery rate. This may or may not have any real impact. But in a related development, U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) is speaking out against recent postal policy changes that she says are hurting local and rural newspapers.
