Crawford PO Workers Halting Mail?

By Karl-Thomas Musselman

This is from Stu Adamslundy in Kendall County. Kay is her former hairdresser and now a member of Code Pink.

In my conversation with Kay this am we happened to stumble into a conversation about donations and that led to a conversation about the Post Office.

Seems as how the ladies working at the Post Office are none to fond of the Peace House (hostile comes to mind). For a couple of days the Peace House was receiving a flood of mail and then all of the sudden almost nothing. I do not know all of the details of what came next, apparently inquiries were made, can't deliver without the 11 digit zip etc.

Well to make a long story short, sometime within the last week, according to Kay, 4 Inspector Generals swept into the Crawford PO and they were caught red-handed (something about one or more letters addressed to Peace House with return to sender found).

Kay has no idea at all how many letters may have been returned, but here is their request. If you recieve a letter back please put it in another envelope, unopened, and send it back to the Dallas PO Box so that it may be used as evidence.

Crawford Peace House
PO BOX 710218
Dallas, TX 75371-0218

There is a volunteer at CPH from California who works for or is retired from the Postal Service and she knows the rules/law. If it is a known address it has to be delivered. This means if you send a letter to the Western White House, Crawford Tx, it is a known address. She even said if you send a letter to Cindy Sheehan, Camp Casey, Crawford, Tx, that that is a known address. And the Crawford Peace House is a KNOWN address. Just Crawford Peace House, Crawford, Tx is a known address, so the little bit about returning for not having the 11 digit zip was not quite right (maybe even a discipline/firing type of event). The workers at the PO let thier personal feelings intefere with doing their job as civil servants.

Just another example of the lack of respect the republican party faithful have for the rule of law. I guess they think the 10 commandments suffice.

Any Postal workers here know the process for initiating a complaint? Sounds like the process is in the works due to the fact that they are "collecting evidence" at the Dallas-based PO Box.

Let's see how these so-called civil servants react when they are terminated and lose their government pensions.

Barbara from San Diego is the ex-postal worker that got the ball rolling.

Apparently there was a few calls to congressional reps which caused some postal inspectors to go to the Crawford post office and then more of them went to the Dallas-Fort Worth post office. Johnny W. from Crawford Peace House was with them and when they went to the back AirAmerica was playing on the radio. When the workers found out who Johnny was and what had happened they gave a big cheer to Johnny and said they were on "our" side. How wonderful.
Anyway, there seems to be some checking into this federal law snafu.

"Let's see how these so-called civil servants react when they are terminated and lose their government pensions."

No doubt that will follow Karl Rove's indictment and Bush and Cheney's impeachment.

Rule of law to Republicans is something that is to be applied to everyone else. Not to them.

As this is a federal crime, I hope these "servants" are properly reprimanded.
Yah, right! When I see pigs fly by...
