We had no idea that the Postal Rate Commission (PRC) could be lobbied by any company or person – apparently they can. The following is a 2009 list of firms and/or persons lobbying the PRC:

Mailers Council
National League of Postmasters
Pitney Bowes Inc
Printing Industries of America
CB Richard Ellis
EPostMarks Inc
Greeting Card Assn
Hallmark Cards
Morgan Stanley
National Postal Policy Council
Newspaper Assn of America
Siegel & Gale
United Parcel Service
Valassis Communications

If,  in fact, this list is factual then how does the PRC use these funds? The list is provided by OpenSecrets.org which is owned by the Center for Responsive Politics a not for profit group located in Washington, D.C.

You may find their list here.
