It&#8217;s this unparalleled level of commitment that will help us win the fight to preserve the Postal Service for decades to come. We hope that senators will now use this extra time to carefully analyze the Service&#8217;s financial problems, so that when the Senate resumes its business after the break, it will be prepared to work on a real reform measure designed to strengthen the agency, not dismantle it.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
