Saving the small town post office
The U.S. Postal Service has published a list of more than 3,000 post offices it will consider closing to cut costs. Many of these closures would take place in small towns like Weston and Parrott, Georgia - neighboring communities about three hours southwest of Atlanta.
Residents of Parrott, a town of 158 people, have started a petition to save their post office. They cite a variety of reasons for wanting to keep it, including security, convenience and the identity the institution provides.
People want to know how they'll get their mail, stamps, packages, medicine and social security checks.
The postal service stands to lose $9 billion this year. Factors like a large drop in mail volume in recent years and the national economic downturn require tough steps to make the agency solvent, it says. However, it plans to listen to the concerns of people affected by closures at a series of public meetings set to begin in September.

The post office lost over $8 billion last year. If you want to keep the post office, have people come pick up their mail and get rid of daily mail service to every single door in the USA. It's outdated and dumb. 98% of my mail is junk. They could deliver twice a week with no harm to anyone.
