They set out to recruit 1,00 members and did just that last week! On August 26th, Affordable Mail Alliance (AMA) announced that it had reached its goal of 1,000 members. Non-profits, Fortune 500 companies, small businesses, major trade associations like the printing industry, consumer groups and citizens that represent the vast majority of the mail sent in the United States have all come together to tell the USPS that the proposed rate hike is too costly for us!
AMA says it is proud of this alliance and of all the work members have accomplished thus far. Members have successfully launched a tough, hard hitting campaign that has gotten the attention of not only the Postal Regulatory Commission but also the national media. In addition, they have organized substantial grassroots campaigns in target states around the country by engaging their elected officials, local media and participating in AMA's online community.
There is still a lot more to be done. The time is right to reinvigorate and re-energize their commitment to defeating the US Postal Service's proposed rate hike.
You can make a difference, if you haven't already, by joining them on Facebook or send an email with your story to affordablemailalliance@gmail.com or write to your Member of Congress.
There are many ways to get involved in your local community too. For more information or for help getting started, please contact Jessica McCreight at (202) 464-6900 or email affordablemailalliance@gmail.com.
Please help with this important grassroots effort for companies like Optimum who rely on our postal rates to be affordable to stay in business! by Dorothy Martin, President
