On the recordApril 24, 2012
I add my strong voice to support the position of Senators Lieberman, Collins, Carper, and Brown, who has also been a great leader in this bipartisan effort to save the Postal Service and put it on a more sound financial footing, not at the expense of taxpayers generally but the users of the Postal Service. This is about rural towns in America. This is about small businesses everywhere that rely on the Postal Service to get basic business done. Don't vote wrong today. Give the Postal Service a chance to save itself. That is what we are doing. We are giving rural communities a chance to fight and to be part of a growing economy. We are giving small businesses the opportunity to stay in business. Don't cut them off today. Let this debate go forward because we are trying to do the right thing and go in the fiscally responsible direction. I see my colleague from Massachusetts who has been a very able leader in our effort. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Massachusetts.
