Jim Hightower: Take action to save our public Postal Service!

Ya gotta love 'im!






Dear Lowdowner,

I'm proud to announce that my organization, the Hightower Lowdown, has joined with more than 60 national organizations to form A Grand Alliance to Save Our Public Postal Service. Without any taxpayer funding, the USPS serves more than 150 million households and businesses each day--but is now being threatened by narrow monied interests aimed at undermining postal services, and dismantling this great public institution.

Sign the pledge to protect the Postal Service!

You can also watch-- and share!-- a 2-minute video where actor-activist Danny Glover shares his personal story about the impact and importance of a vibrant public Postal Service.



Keep Agitating!
