If it were to close we would be forced to take out a postal box in another town in order to keep these safe until we would be available to pick them up. This would be an inconvenience to our family.

Our PO is a community gathering spot that we use to announce local events and find out important public announcements, e.g. wildfire and fire ban information.
Closing the nearest sort center has impacted on our deliveries as pkgs are
routed all over the US.

I have attended the hearings and did not find that most residents felt the alternatives presented in those hearings would help much. Most are worried about another loss of identity to there small town--simlar to loss of school, bank, grocery store, etc.

The Senate has passed the 21st Century Postal Reform Act to address these issues.

I do not believe the closure as proposed last fall would save the U.S. Postal Service a significant amount of money. Furthermore, it would weaken the USPS even further. It also would renege on the nation's commitment to citizens.
