Postal Reform -- Congress Must Deliver

If both Congressional chambers agree on a final bill and send it down Pennsylvania Avenue, where President Bush would presumably shoot it down due to budgetary concerns, the question then becomes: Would there be enough votes to overturn the veto? Would Congress take up the battle cry at a time when Social Security, the war in Iraq and other issues have a more predominant focus of attention? As Raymond aptly puts the question in a national perspective, "No one is going to call their Congressman in the middle of the night, upset about postal reform." And will the Congressional membership fully appreciate the consequences that may result if the USPS is not given a 21st century overhaul to remain viable and not lose a large measure of volume?
