Postal Workers Rally Against Priority Mail Giveaway; Nationwide Demonstrations Target Privatization and Contracting Out biz.yahoo.com ....This is what I was talking about, I was hearing rumors of this all day, but I wasn't sure what it was.

More links, news.... members.aol.com "The contracting out of Priority Mail is only the beginning of the Postal Service's plans to privatize and dismantle the Postal Service. They also have proposals to contract out retail stores and bulk mail facilities." ...Well, to sum it up, they're making a big deal of this in Philadelphia, we will just have to wait and see if it goes anywhere. Remember when a phone call used to cost 10 cents and then overnite, it increased to 100% to 20 cents, and then again to 25 cents. I for one, wouldn't mind if it happend to a stamp. Benny
