Mail Worker Union Goes Postal on Tea Party
Activism Friday, September 30th, 2011
By Matthew Boyle – The Daily Caller
In what appears to be an attempt to overwhelm their critics, postal union members have sent more than 100 pounds of mail to a tea party group advocating for United States Postal Service reform.
Donna Wiesner Keene of TheTeaParty.net told The Daily Caller the group receives its mail weekly, and that the onslaught so far has spanned two weeks. The first week, she said the union workers sent approximately 700 letters and delivered them in a box weighing 57 pounds.
Then, this week, Keene said the workers doubled down on their efforts, bringing the total weight of the mail her group received to over 110 pounds.
“I find the idea of the unions attacking a tea party group for simply supporting a bill that would make our whole country more efficient and that would lower the cost of the taxpayers’ yearly contributions to an inefficient agency, is just outrageous,” Keene said in a phone interview. “These union people need to be doing their jobs in the most efficient manner, and the Post Office needs to be losing people by attrition but doing a really good job of delivering our mail.”
“So, if they have time to write letters attacking a tea party group for supporting legislation, then they probably have time to have six-day delivery of the mail,” Keene added.

The best thing to do is just quit mailing anything. I do bill pay at my bank and use FedEx if I need to send a rare hard copy of something. In the end its cheaper and more efficient, and if we all do this, that will send a huge message to the postal workers union.
