Dear XXX:

On June 30th, the United States Postal Service (USPS) will raise its rates - for the third time in three years.  Despite these annual revenue increases generated at the expense of citizens and businesses, USPS is nearly $13 billion in debt and fast approaching the $15 billion debt ceiling mandated by Congress.  USPS also has another $84 billion in unfounded liabilities looming - and they have no debt reduction or cost-cutting plan in place.

The General Accounting Office (GAO) called the USPS business model "unsustainable" and placed USPS on its "high-risk" list.  GAO also called for greater accountability and transparency at USPS.  We agree.

As part of the one million members and supporters of Citizens Against Government Waste, I the undersigned respectfully call for an independent audit of the United States Postal Service to answer the question, "where's our money going?"

Sincerely,
XXXX

Once again thank you for taking the time to help stamp out waste at the U.S. Postal Service.  Please click here to donate to Citizens Against Government Waste.
