Politicizing the US Postal Service
On three occasions, activists have been set up at the Post Office in College Station, Texas, distributing political material and being very aggressive in pushing their agenda. The first time they were set up near the entrance to the Post Office parking lot. On Monday, Sept 23 and Tuesday, Sept 24, they were set up right at the door to the post office and getting in people's faces. I spent 35 years in the Postal Service. I took and oath of office when I went to work for the Postal Service. We swore to uphold the Constitution and to protect the mail. Until the mid 1990"s, our Postal Regulations instructed us to go to jail rather than give up, or allow any entity other than a Postal Inspector or a Federal law enforcement officer with a federal warrent to even look at any of the mail. Under no circumstances did we allow anyone to open mail. Postal Inspectors could open mail if they convinced a Federal judge to grant a warrant and that was extremely difficult to do. We were also instructed that the Postal Service was apolitical. We were to allow no political advertising and no politicking on the Postal grounds. And now we have those idiots out there making a mockery of what the Postal Service stands for. I wonder how many of these fool even know the history of the Postal Service. I wonder how many citizens of the United States know any of this history. I find it disgusting. that this is now allowed to happen and our politicians just sit back and let it happen. Makes me ashamed of my government. Oh, wait, I have long been ashamed of my government.
