If it weren't for Republicans, we'd be wearing Burkas by now!
THE USPS (DIS) HONORS SOLDIERS
A government post office in California has chosen to take down photographs of local soldiers after someone called to complain.
Since 2001, the Paso Robles Post Office has collected pictures of men and women serving in the military and placed them on a board in the post office. The board was meant to support local troops. But before opening its door Friday morning, the pictures had to be taken down after some idiot complained to the Consumer Affairs Department.
First of all ... who knew that the government even tried to provide customer service by providing a complaint department? And since when has the government ever been pro-active in responding to citizens' complaints. Ten bucks says that if a customer had called to complain about a missing package, nobody would have done a darn thing. No one would have cared. But photos of our heroes being posted on the walls ... that's blasphemy! That requires immediate action.

A spokesperson for the US Post Office says that its regulations specify that "only official postal announcements and other government notices can be put up on the walls."
Well .. .that's a nice excuse .. a nice government excuse. Meanwhile, I hope the person who complained is happy with the outcome.
Apparently a local politician (a Republican) got involved and the photos will now be restored.

Glad to read that the Post Office now, once again allows the posting of Heroes. It is a shame that this even was an issue. Thank You for posting this information. I am in Georgia, but as you clearly pointed out, who would address a failed mail delivery. Probably no one. Yet the system over reacted to this.
