The BAY BREEZE due date is coming up on Monday - September 8th. Since I will be on vacation all week - it would be appreciated if you could send your article or material for submission for publication to PO Box 10323, Green Bay, WI 54307 so that I can pick it up from there or e-mail it to me at breezy@netnet.net. Please indicate that it is an article for THE BAY BREEZE because I get a lot of spam that I don't bother to open.

The Consumer Alliance for Postal Services (CAPS) was founded in 2003 to protect affordable and dependable mail service for all Americans. In 2002, President Bush appointed a presidential commission to study and report on possible postal reforms that could redefine universal service. Universal service is defined as the same postal services at uniform prices for all citizens, and is the tenet on which the United States Postal Service was formed over 230 years ago. CAPS members include the AFL-CIO, the American Postal Workers Union, the A. Phillip Randolph Institute, Consumer Action and the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare, and other organizations. Former Representative William L. Clay Sr., former chairman of the House Post Office and Civil Service Committee is the chairman of CAPS. Please... Check out: Consumer Alliance for Postal Services (CAPS). The Presidential Commission is way off-base when it comes to Postal Reform.
