This week is the busiest week of the year for the US Postal Service. Despite all the business, the postal service is on the verge of bankruptcy because of a pre-funding mandate imposed by a lame-duck Congress in 2006.
Here in Portland, a door-to-door canvassing group called Working America is taking up the cause of saving America's postal service.
The battle to keep Oregon’s rural post offices open continued today with a rally in Scappoose.
Although Oregon Senator Jeff Merkley on Friday claimed credit for saving twenty of Oregon’s post offices from closure, twenty one more are still scheduled to be shut down by the end of the year.
