The House of Representatives is nearing a majority for the anti-privatization resolution, H.Res. 70, with 208 bipartisan co-sponsors. The resolution requires just 10 more supporters to reach the necessary 218 co-sponsors for majority backing.

Simultaneously, discussions continue on Capitol Hill regarding the budget reconciliation package. The House Budget Committee recently voted against the complete package; however, proposed reductions to letter carrier retirement benefits remain under consideration.

A call to action has been issued, urging individuals to contact their representatives to support H.Res. 70 and oppose any cuts to postal retirement benefits.

Further details about H.Res. 70 and the proposed retirement benefit cuts are available online.
