You’re probably from somewhere near New York City, possibly north Jersey, or Connecticut or Rhode Island. If you are from New York City you may be one of the types who people never believe when you say you’re from New York.
This isn’t a “sexy” issue, so it’s not going to get media attention….but it’s another example of the corporate feudalism that we’re forced to live with….and the opportunity to act is on a tight deadline:
Tell the Postal Service Not TO Stamp Out Independent Media!
The United States Postal Board of Governors recently proposed to implement an unfair increase in periodical rates — one that will have grave consequences for independent media.
In making this proposal, the Board of Governors rejected a plan from the U.S. Postal Service itself, and instead adopted a different plan — one proposed by media giant Time Warner. Time Warner’s plan locks in privileged low rates for bigger companies, and places a huge new burden on independent publishers.
Click here to submit a public comment opposing this plan before Monday, April 23! Tell the Postal Board of Governors: Reject Time Warner’s plan, and save independent media in the U.S.
*** Please share this message with everyone you know who cares about the future of independent media in America. ***
