I just got asked to move my candidate signature drive;I was in front of

the Post Office!!!

The Post Master came out and told me to stand away from the post office - He then said I should have asked his permission(I'm outside, away from the door near the outside mailboxes)

I didn't block anyone's access- in fact people had a choice to go out of their way to walk up to me or walk by me

I said "Are you kidding me?"

Honest to God he said"Ive tried to get rid of the peace group that's here on Wednesday's and I'm sick of people using this site"

instead of working for the federal fricking government LOL!!!

:crazy:

Damn them :grr:


:eyes: What a goof!

He said NO

SEE USPS POSTER #7 - this prohibits this sort of thing. Sorry.

Agency of United States government (government monopoly)


The United States Postal Service (USPS) is an "independent establishment of the executive branch" of the United States government (see 39 U.S.C. § 201) responsible for providing postal service in the United States; it is generally referred to within the United States as "the post office."
The postal service was created under Benjamin Franklin on July 26, 1775 by decree of the Second Continental Congress. Based on a clause in the United States Constitution empowering Congress "To establish Post Offices and post Roads," it became the Post Office Department in 1792. In 1971, the department was reorganized as a quasi-independent agency of the federal government and acquired its present name.

Government monopoly
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
In economics, government monopoly is a form of coercive monopoly in which a government agency is the sole provider of a particular good or service and competition is prohibited by law. It is usually distinguished from a government-granted monopoly, where the government grants a monopoly to a private individual or company.

A government monopoly may be run by any level of government - national, regional, local; for levels below the national, it is a local monopoly. The term state monopoly usually means a government monopoly run by the national government, although it may also refer to monopolies run by regional entities called "states" (notably the US states).

Examples
In many countries, the postal system is run by the government with competition forbidden by law in some or all services. Also, government monopolies on public utilities and railroads have historically been common, though recent decades have seen a strong privatization trend throughout the industrialized world.

I knew the Post Office was independent, but still thought it was a Federal operation and open to the public. :shrug:

because God knows, the USPS is all about customer service!

Hm, and don't Repukes usually hate "government employees" such as POSTAL WORKERS??????
