Rush newsletter, Romney sign, FreedomWorks mailing ruined "accidently" by USPS in last 3 weeks

Anyone else experience repeated destruction of your conservative mailings?

I bought a sign at Romney's web site, and when it arrived, the packaging was messed up along with a note of "apology" from the USPS.

A week or so later, my Limbaugh newsletter came, shredded up...still readable, but clearly mangled. No apology.

Today, a mailing from FreedomWorks. The large envelope ripped open at the top, torn up. No apology.

Mailings from different regions, all conservative and rather large items, all mucked up.

Coincidence? I don't think so.

Wow. Imagine when they all go postal at once.

I have a terrible local post office.

I once had a subscription to Vogue and I got exactly one copy out of a year’s subscription.

When my child was in college, they opened every envelope that said “Financial Aid Office”—I guess they thought checks, or maybe even cash, come through the mail.

One holiday season, they took all my invitations. I thought it was to crash parties and events, but I later found out that one guy was dumping what he figured were Christmas cards, to make his job easier.

Then there was the fat envelope from my father that never arrived. I guess they thougt that was cash. It wasn’t.

I agree that the Postal Inspector’s Office is great. They were on my local post office’s case until 9/11 came along, when they got too busy with the anthrax threat.

Clue: Never put your name on a letter that is going to someone in your family with the same name. I have started just putting my apartment number and street address and everything has been going fine. They see family to family and their little fingers start to itch.

Contact Postal Inspectors directly

The last time I contacted a Postal Inspector I got the distinct impression that I was speaking with a less motivated, less sympathetic employee of the DMV who could hot have given less of a rat's patootie. Unless you are on to the next Unabomber they just want to drink their coffee and collect their pension.

Go over his head-after documenting his name, time of call/date,etc.

I remember the days when "forever jobs" was the reward for lower-paying civil service jobs relative to the private sector, where there was higher pay but risk of termination.

Nowadays, government jobs are sucking the life out of the private sector by increasing the number of government jobs, which reduces the available workforce for private sector jobs, which require more taxes to pay for the government jobs, which reduces the disposable income of private sector workers, which reduces profits in the private sector, which reduces the workforce in the private sector...

Report this to the US Post Office Inspector General’s office. Believe it or not they are DAMN Good.

Also report it to your congressman and senator.....in these times the last thing the post office needs is bad publicity!!

Just for general info. I’ve been an employee of the Postal Service for nearly 25 years. All of my three children have been raised in the same house that we bought 19 years ago. One in college, Two on the way. To say that I am proud just doesn’t cut it. I know many friends through the years who were making more, spending more, and living higher on the hog than I could even consider. My budget didn’t allow it. So while you may think we are overpaid for what we do, when the hard times came, (and they’re here for a while), my friends have lost homes, pulled kids from private schools, filed bankruptcy, and otherwise suffered calamity of all sorts.But the USPS never missed a day of delivering the mail, nor did they outsource our jobs to other countries like dems and repubs alike have facilitated. They kept on working. You can bitch about your mail being slow, or damaged, or missing and there will be a human to report it to. That human might just be a conservative, like myself. There are many conservatives in the USPS. There are even may constitutionalists, like myself. We talk and debate about the future of this country because we love this country. The fact is that the constitution specifically provides for the government to do this particular thing, deliver mail, unlike so many other things that the government is doing which are criminal and unconstitutional. So I urge you to resist the temptation to generalize. Your mail may have been intentionally damaged by some ***hole, or it might not have, but those kinds of people are in every walk of life. Just deal with it without slandering an entire group of people who do their jobs well and with care.

“Just deal with it without slandering an entire group of people who do their jobs well and with care.”

Great post,dwn.
My wife works for the federal government,too. She’s been with Veteran’s Affairs Canada for over 20 years. Loves her job. She has always gone the “extra mile” for Vets with their claims for disability pensions, mostly because she can feel empathy for them. I couldn’t count how many personal “thank you’s” she has received from Vets or their survivors who had given up on any kind of compensation until she took over their cases. Yeah, there are a few in her position who do the job with indifference, but there are also some “gems”. Like I said, great post.

Did not slander anyone ...simple advice on dealing with bad service. I really don’t have many problems with the post office because I rarely use it from my end and get mostly junk mail from the other end. I really would not miss it if they went to every other day service.

I am glad there are good people like you working there...I am just suspicious that three obvious mailings of mine have been damaged.

I hope you understand.
