The possibility that the House of Representatives could consider H.R. 2309 towards the end of June or beginning of July has generated renewed interest in the bill, and, how the House Leadership will deal with the controversy relating to a number of its provisions. The week’s eNAPUS Legislative and Political Bulletin seeks to put into context the process and calculations that will be made in scheduling the bill for possible floor votes. In addition, this Bulletin will review the past week’s Senate budget discussions, in light of last week’s House passage of a Budget Reconciliation bill. Finally, the Bulletin takes a quick look at Senate electoral politics.

As a Clerk in Dayton, OH, I would like to encourage all to Contact their Federal Representative to SIGN Discharge Petition to KILL HB 2309, then to hear and Enact HB 1351.
It is amazing how the super egos take over a person…such as Issa! Consensus dictates one thing (the Senate bill), but like a child, he wants HIS bill passed, and doesn’t want to let the Senate version even come up for debate. It is all about having HIS bill passed, nothing about what is good for America or its services.
that is an excellent idea and the way to go. That bill had at least that many co-sponsors (while the Issa bill had 2) – so I see no reason why this has not already been exercised. We must get active – the postal service and our livelihoods depend on it.
Everyone needs to contact your representative in the House and ask them to sign a Discharge Petition. If there a 218 signatures on this petition, it would force the House to vote on HR 1351 and take away the authority that Issa has in blocking this legislation and kill his bill
