Must-See T.V.

These are important times for the postal service, as we are constantly coming under attack from Republicans in Congress, as well as from uninformed talk show hosts around the country. There are a few such as Ed Schultz of MSNBC who get the facts right and are on our side, but those are few and far between. On this page I will try to display a variety of the various reports as they come out so that you may keep yourself informed as to just what is going on regarding the future of the Postal Service.

Insprired by a scathing attack on postal workers that was excerpted from a Sept. 16, 2011 episode of Money Rocks on the Fox Business Channel, and subsequently referred to as Must-See TV in Burrus Update #15-2010 on Sept. 21, 2010. As newer important videos were released and the older ones deleted, it became apparant that displaying these videos in an archive format might be a better way of displaying new information without losing older videos that might still be important.

If you have never been to this page before, start at the bottom and read your way up, as you will see here, listed in chronological order, just some of the many videos and television excerpts important to our future and livelyhoods as postal workers.

Yours in Solidarity,
