Legislative Update
I would like to personally thank all those that responded to my plea
to notify our House Representative’s to vote YES. I will be
contacting them to thank them for their support. However we
are only half way there and need to continue the work to see that
our Senators also vote YES on Senate bill 1507. Please spread
the word to family, friends and co-workers. I’m asking all to
contact the Senators and ask for their support on Capwiz.

The
2010 NAPS Legislative Issue Brief is now published and posted on the
NAPS website. To download the Issue Brief,
click here.
The
Issue Brief contains the issues that NAPS urges Congress to take
action on.
NAPS'
top issue concerns the Postal Service's financial crisis and
sensible ways to deal with the situation.
NAPS advocates during the LTS will urge Congress to credit
the Postal Service for its $75 billion CSRS pension overpayment and
permit the Postal Service to use those credited funds to satisfy its
retiree health benefit prefunding obligations.
This is explained in pages 6 - 10 of the Issue Brief. This
is a complicated but very important issue. Be sure you read this
material before you come to Washington.
The
link to the Issue Brief is found on the
home page of the NAPS website (for easy accessibility by
Congressional offices), as well as the
LTS page of the NAPS website.
See
you soon in Washington!
